Derby Stories

[milo]

This was like 6-8 yrs ago , not sure.Rick Hern and me were headed to fish the Derby , and we had a early morning ferry, but he wanted to go squidding at woods hole the nite before.So I meet him at the canal and we unload my rods onto his truck.And we go park my van at his buddies house up the road. It is the middle of the nite and we are driving down 28 to go squidding . We are in the right lane and these cars are passing us up and staring, I figured the are just amazed on the amount of #^&#^&#^&#^& this suburban has, front cooler rack, rear cargo carrier loaded with stuff, about 15 rods on the roof , plus the cargo carrier on top of the truck with the albied rods, plus the tackle shop that was inside.....He is driving and not paying attention to the cars passing us by, but after about 6 or 7 cars staring at us , I said, "rick man you better pull over , all these f&!^/3^3ing people are staring at us. So he pulls over and we get out.His truck looked like a porcine, with rods sticking out in every direction, straight up , to the sides and even backwards.There were a few rods dragging the road behind us, one was mine.He was also carrying rods for a few friends that were meeting us there during the week.We had about 15 surf rods up there and the only damage was a couple of tips were ground down to nothing from dragging the road, and were still there because the reels were hung up on the rod rack.And one rod was a lami ss that he just built for our friend matt, never fished.Still amazes me that we didnt lose 1 rod and all those fuchin people didnt say anything, or point or something.He thought I locked the racks and I thought he did lol ...oh yea we were probably half way to woods hole when we found out
