Determination.....

I've met many hardcore surfcasters in my life. This guy gets the nod from me as perhaps the most hard nosed and determined guy I've ever fished with. Congrats to Mike V. (Redlite) on a great catch from the surf a few nights ago. Fish went 46#.It was one of 13 big fish he took that night. You da man, Mike.

It's not the bait
At the end of your line
It's the fishing hole
Where all the fish is blind

There are those of us who are just happy to catch and then there are the masters. The guy who truly knows what he's doing and gets it done even in the worst of times.
Not to say I don't like to catch an old fashioned keeper but if a couple of cigars to keep the no-seeums away and a frosty or two as well as a pal to laugh at can be mastered I can fit into that category.
NICEFish and you are one of those guys that separates the men from the boys !
