Good book. Sounds like Billy the Greek in a nutshell.

almost everything else
Not before Family, thats about it though. That is why I have my wife and children involved from the boat for now. The night before last my 7 year old son came with me for the first time at night. I didn't let him fish because the area was to dangerous for him to do that. He was ecstatic just to be there. We stayed out for 3 hours only got a couple of small ones and a huge hit from what I think was a black fish? He saw and commented on everything the rod tip was doing. We took it slow and very safe he stayed rite by my side accept when i was on wet rocks, never more than 20 feet away from me, needless to say I didn't fish in my usual manner but it was great. I am making korkers for all of them this winter and hope to give them a little exsposure in 2006.

Ya John, something like Nick Kara--" the striped bass fisher is unique among saltwater anglers. He and she are often endowed with a curiosty that reaches far beyond that of the average marine or freshwater fisherman.The only counterpart they could have, of which i know, might be the salmon fisherman. Both are interested in their fish and sport it affords in a way that sets them apart from other anglers.To catch their fish is usually not enough: to know how and why it strikes is as compelling a force as the catching".
Now i just proved Clammas claim that i am so old the only thing i can do is read
and turn wood.  
I agree Headhunter, as the only thing that really counts, when all is said and done, is what you've done for your family and others.  |

I'll never be good, Family always first.
Not to offend anyone, but most people who I consider sharpies, fit that definition to a "T", but they pay a heavy price. Jobs, relationships, family, health... a heavy toll...
Dave, when I saw this thread I looked straight up over my computer, hanging on the wall is a print, by Tony Stetzko Jr., same title as this thread, his rendering, of his "Bertha".... thought you might like a look.
