Absolutely true story that I just have to share,
After coming hiome from the derby each year I fish a pattern of many weekends in south county RI and nightly jaunts here around Hull.
A few years ago I started frequenting Captain Con's in Charletown, RI. I know alot of people in the fishing community and usually have connections to someone. I met john who works in the shop just by going in to get stuff. I am not aregular by any means but go in the sho[ once or twice a weekend fgor about six weeks a year.
Last year we were all goo goo over Bernzy surf howdy's and Captain don's got an order of "big howdy's in over a weekend I was there. It was late at night and I asked John to throw two aside for me and I would pick them up on sunday....
Needless to say, the weather got snotty and after drying off Sunday Am I just left town....not to return for the rest of last Fall.
I had been down RI for two weekends but john was off or not working when I was in. so last weekend I was down again and walked in and there was John. After normal greetings and hjow ya been, John tells me he has something for me....
John comes out of the back room with a brown paper bag and tells me he has held this bag for a year with my name on it. Inside is the two "Big Howdy's". We both start laughing and he tells me that they have not had that size in a long time.
I do not know about you but this was quite and impressive thing to do for a customer that is only around for a part of the season and is not connected to the shop in any way. Even though I was pretty broke I bought the Yellow Pearl and let ReelExtacy buy the Purple over pearl.
I just am so impressed that I wanted to give a big THANK YOU to John and the shop as that is somehting not expected and I like to recognize outstanding service when I see it.
