Thanks. You and your brother Fish Shrinker need to come down for Snook season. That 4 inch window has got to go.

I thought about heating the shaft first to try to get it to expand and crush some white nasties and then going more traditional.

Yeah Don,
The thinking is half the fun. I have a handy snap on holder for the punch. Gotta dress is as it is mushrooming pretty severely. I missed the mullet run which is disappointing.

Cheers,
