[Swimmer]

Really, meeting and seeing so many people here. I get to meet them all personally, because I fish so much with Bigfish, and knows freikin everyone. I have trouble remembering their real names and he knows both the screen name here, the screen name on SOL, their dates of birth and their favorite colors, because they all order wood from him.

One fish in particular stands out. Their were many others in the low 30 # range and even more 20 #ers, many of which became dinner fare. Next year I have a goal of winning a monthly in the Cup. So now that I have said it, I wont catch a fish over 10 #'s next year.

Driving off the ferry in Vineyard Haven with my brother, Squid Kids Dad, for our annual sojourn across the sands of Martha's Vineyard. Buying gas, paying for Chappy ferry tickets every day, spending time with Bubba, Ronny, Keving, Sharkman, and every other person who is chasing the Holy Grail of fish on the Vineyard who thinks a person fishing on Chappy is going to catch it fishing from the beaches of Chappy. Stopping at Larry's and finding your the first person to open the cooler filled to the brim with fresh butterfish. Getting to first dibs is really special. Walking the beach under the lighthouse with the gale force winds shooting sand from behind you into the back of your neck so hard it really friekin hurt. And trying to work a plug parralell to the wind and get a decent workable cast.

Joining the Gibbs Classic club along with 18 other new members last spring. Enjoying a great barbecue that is part of the joining festivities that day at the Bource Campground.

Letting the canal become ground zero for the majority of my fishing pleasure. It is not easy fishing there, but it can be rewarding if you put your time.

Looking forward to fishing next year with wood I made. Caught fish with some of my stuff this year, but my plugs need honing.
