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

Congrats Mike

Fishing with Mike is Pure Entertainment AND he's got a nose for the basses. Did I mention intense?

Tenacity, determination, and the will to keep fishing when it's slow are under-rated skills (and in many ways it IS a skill) in fishing.

Nice fish Mike.

Great job Mike, you are certainly hard-core. Thanks for the "Flash", it says alot about you as a person. Many guys would have done whatever they could to prevent someone from getting in on that type of action. For certain if you ever "Flash" me again, I will walk on water to get there
