Speaking of Sauerkraut, he tells a story of finding a large white Lupo danny in the wash while fishing the Vineyard decades ago. Later in the night he met a guy frantically searching the beach for his lost plug. Turns out the Lupo was his "go to" plug. SK, classy guy that he is, said nothing and kept it (or maybe he found it later after the guy had moved on, I forget, but I like the story better the first way). To make matters worse, he decided it was too fat to fit a skin over it and, since he hated all plugs without skins, took a rasp to it and effectively destroyed it so it would take a skin. I don't think he liked the result because the poor abraded thing is, I think, still hanging somewhere in his basement.

Better hope he's not the guy who finds your "Wilson".
