ok, no recent shots but there will be soon.
have patience grasshopper.

guilty as charged.

O.K. I haven't been here long enough to take shots at anyone, so I will just say "cute kids" and I hope you hooked whatever ate that Fluke.. blue? CTT, top custom? $? Thanks for the replies.

2nd, yeah, custom. original owner had it made at a cost of slightly under $5,000. including full enclosure. sold it about 3 months later. the guy i bought it from had it about 4 months and never put it in the water. bought himself a 24 true world and disappeared.

nope, didnt hook it. baby mako. took a couple bites, jumped once or twice and gone.

thanks, they look just like daddy.

and feel free to let it fly. no sissys here. (except for a couple sissys).

we dont get insulted easy. (except for those who get insulted easy).

that time of year we get em real close to the beach. several years before, we were just a bit further out and i lost a monster fluke to another little mako, this one a little bigger.
the fluke was probably an eight, ten pounder and this snotty little mako, about 40 - 50 pounds nails it right by the boat while my pop is grabbing the net.
i tell him "forget the net". he goes "lose the fish?" i go "well, most of it".

we laughed about that one for a while cause that was the summer when we never took home anything smaller than 6 pounds.

You actually laughed?

Now that we do need pictures of.

All right, I stand corrected and apologize for furthering the rumors.

Also I will admit you are a darn good looking fellow in a serious sort of way

:beer: heres to ya CTT
