There's a good chapter in "The Trophy Striper" by Daignault that addresses the losing of a big fish. I think its called "Why we lose the best ones." Worth a read.
Thanks BB,

waz thinking of picking up that book for XMAS,
yet there is the other two that i had at the top of me
winter reading List. Zeno's latest and DJ's book from last year.

i also would like to get my hands on anything by Tim Coleman.
sum vintage stuff right there, i've read Striper Surf twice from cover to cover
and reread it every year for its pearls of surfwisdom. LOVED Skinner's book
from last year,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,ALL are excellent reads and were verrrrry helpful
in taking me to the next level with eeeeeeeels and riggies.

with patience and heavy gear and good feesh MOJO!!

"The first condition of happiness is that the connection
between man and nature shall not be broken."~~ Leo Tolstoy

Happy Hunting to ALL!
