As i reflect on the season, it's hard to put a finger on a single high light.. I had 3 very large fish that were at or over the majic mark..i released all of them with out a measurement or weight... for me.. although I am a trophy hunter, the abundance of small and medium fish to about 12lbs gives me hope that fishing will be good until I'm too old to care.. at times.. they were a pain in the XXX!...the fishing was as dependable as I have ever seen it.. the boat only got skunked 3 times from May to mid October.. and on those nights, had i REALLY wanted to do something differant ( we fished plugs those nights I'm sure we could have come up with a fish or three).. and that's fishing a 30 hour week.. I'd have to go back to the mid 80's to find a time when I could find fish EVERY night that were willing to eat like we had this past season... ... the weather co-operted nicely until mid September when we had a stretch of rough seas and the majority of "nice" fish were on the ocean front... Once again slipnot made the voyage north... Myself, he and Nightshift spent a slinging eels laughing and catching a few fish..Nightshift and I had a great season...we laughed hard.. fished harder and even got to play a trick on a boat load of yahoo's that tried to follow us to our honey hole..so.. I got to fish with good friends, have a few laughs, no one got hurt and we made it home safe each night.. that i guess is the high light of the season.

A good run is better than a bad stand!
