Aw Johnny, Johnny. Ye were a pisser fer shure... I know you are regaling them with your stories, which you were never short of. One of my favorite all time characters. Who else would show up at the ferry for a Cuttyhunk fishing trip with a handicap placard hanging from his mirror?....... One of a kind.

Pissah Guy,
Had him on the boat a few times Oxy tank and all. I'd say give me a nod when you've had enough with that fish and I'll take over.....which didn't take long in the later years......but he'd always enjoy the day for sure........

Great guy !
I had the honor of having him out on my boat a few times.
1 time was about 20 years ago and he wanted to catch a tuna.
We put him on a school tuna (about 70lbs) on a 50 stand up.
It took everything he had to get it to the boat (we had him sitting on a cooler and ready to help if needed) but he got it done & it made for a memorable day.
Raw sushi and a few adult beverages (hi-balls) were had on the ride in.

Always enjoyed talking to Johnny at shows and get together. Funny bastard and had a lot of great stories. Was thinking of him a couple weeks ago.
