Nice story Steve. I especially enjoyed the line "this must have seemed much better a proposition than spending all his time in a machine shop". The guy knew what he was talking about
What is it with striper fishing and machinist's there has been quite a few greats that called it their trade. I bet a lot has to do with being cooped up inside all day that you really excel at anything outdoors when you get the opportunity. As always though there are exceptions to the rules and I will keep my day job.
