You might be a googan if....

[MAKAI]

Googans do catch fish though, saw a guy get a 50 plus fishing an eel on an apple bobber, spinning reel half full of 60# mono, in a sand sand spike,at night. Also after plugging and eeling the back all nite I was sitting on my tailgate having breakfast, when a googan shows up with garage sale gear, tosses out half a frozen mac. Yup, easy 55# in ten minutes, bright july sun, 9:00 am. So I went in town bought some crack and called it a day.

Your night fishing arsenal includes a boom box and a coleman lantern.

1.If you keep turning (reeling) the handle while the fish is taking line.

2.Also after chuming BFtuna all day and the captain starts the boat and the chaffing gear (16oz. bank sinker taped on a tube) from one rod gets wrapped aroung the prop (inboard) and you throw a rope over the stern and open the Tuna door and hop in with a knife and a mask and swim under the boat cutting it free managing to cut yourself (minor cut) and after 15 mins. you hop back on board just realizing the chum stopped just before this happened. What could be following the chum line??????

3. You want the wire line to go alittle deeper while trolling and freespool without thumbing the spool (person on a charter when my back was turned GRRRR.)

4. Nobody tells you the beach was closed all day to swimming you get there after 5 and put your mask and fins on to scout this new beach to fish that evening spend about 45min. swimming out about 100 yards 20'-30' of water looking for structure. Head to the bait shop and tell them.They tell you the beach was closed and why .....two 10'-12'tiger sharks were spotted just off the beach that morning.

you leave all your tackle in open Plano boxes on your tail gate and drive off leaving your gear in the sand (me).

you throw a nice fish under your truck to keep it out of the sun and drive off, forgetting the fish (you know who you are).

you accidentally knock an idling boat in reverse while your fishing companion is casting off the bow.

Funny you should mention this, as I was vacationing in Hawaii back in '92, and we were staying on the islan of Kauai (?).
We took a trip up to the "Barking Sands Beach" on the north west shore, just south of the Napali coast. We spent the day swimming and relaxing, marvelling in the fact that there weren't more than 6 other people on the 1+ mile of beach.

When we got back to the condo we were staying at, we read in USA Today that there had been a shark sighting/attack at the beach the weekend before we got there.
