it depends on who is telling me these stories. If it's someone like Charlie Cinto, then I get a helluva sore jaw from laughing so much. If it's Stan Kuzia, I listen intently to what he says much like Tony Chirappo. If it's a guy like Crazy Alberto, then yes I do get fired up

that man can fish. If it's Fisheye, then I just drool at all the pictures and wish I was there.
Stories by experienced fisherman are all part of the fishing experience. Everyone should here a few from time to time.
