Re: New SeaCraft

I really wish you luck in catching “the big one” who knows maybe you will be the next “Spanish Fly” some day.
I really like kidding around with the guys on the board and love to poke fun at thinks that seem kind of foolish to a old salt. BUT on two occasions that I watched those tournament guys breeze by me IF I WOULD HAVE ENTERED I would have won the darn things. Once with a 55 pound Wahoo that would have brought me $40,000 and then a 200 something pound Swordfish last year that would have been worth 10-12 grand. I have always been a pure sportsmen about fishing. If I start catching to many of a species I will start backing down in tackle size, like now I usually fish 20 pound spinners and conventional reels for Sailfish just to make it a little harder on me. I never sell my catch or never entered a tournament because I don’t want fishing to become work I want it to stay on my FUN column in life. “If your fun becomes work than what do you do for fun”?? I guess that’s why I re did a 76 SeaCraft I could have bough a new boat if I wanted to BUT What fun is that??? Redoing my 76 was one of my most memorable accomplishments “I never did anything like that before” and probably never will do it again. I can remember people looking at me and thinking What in the world was he thinking???
On one occasion as I was driving down the road with my boat stripped down but still not put back together yet a guy with a truck started beeping and beeping swerving in and out of traffic trying to get next to me he rolled down the window and yelling ha buddy are you taking the old piece of S**T to the dump??
I want you to know for me it’s not for the $$$$ it for the Fun pure and simple. If I did what I do for $$$ I know for sure you couldn’t pay me that much $$$ to do what I do.
