Missed my chance
 

DMoore came and got it :'(...right out from under my nose went the closest to perfect 21 I've ever been on(ain't been on yours yet DAWG ;) ... He came down over the weekend and hooked 'er up and dragged 'er home...I was tied up w/family stuff and didn't get to meet him, but talked w/him/phone...no "buyers remorse" there...think he's pretty happy w/his new 21 8) ...

Re: Missed my chance
 

dam....so is he gonna get rid of that pretty 20' of his :-/

that boat was pretty, I am sure he will be happy with it ;D

Re: Missed my chance
 

Demi Moore came and got it?? You get any pics??

Sorry, Reel. If it wasn't meant to be it wasn't meant to be.

Re: Missed my chance
 

Rule number one, when ever a brother V20 member is in your area, you will make every attempt to meet with them!!
There is nothing and I mean nothing more important in you life at that time!!

And it will also be up to the visiting member to seek out other brothers!!

So since the rule was not written when reel & Dmore broke it, he will skate this time!

But there will be no mercy next time! ;)

Good Luck with the new boat!!

Re: Missed my chance
 

Congrats DM.

Where have you been REEL? Haven't seen you on in a while.

Re: Missed my chance
 

Well done DMoore, you got a special lady there, take care of her.
And Ozzie good looking out for your site brothers and good looking out for your neighbor down there.
Pretty slick for an old codger ;)

Re: Missed my chance
 

aye, aye, Captain ;D :-*

Re: Missed my chance
 

Agree with MJ. Congrads on the V21 sale. Looking forward to some hot Pix. ;)

Re: Missed my chance
 

Man we could have been V21 DAWG brothers ;D

And its not because you haven't been invited! ;D Too bad the stripers won't be coming down to NC in great numbers this winter....guess I'll have to find my new favorite winter fish to target :-/

Re: Missed my chance
 

dont be too upset BR, they aint here yet eithrer :'( :'( :'(

Re: Missed my chance
 

What are we going to do Cy? I can't sit around and not fish all winter.

Re: Missed my chance
 

I may miss them all together, if the stripers dont get here in the next couple of weeks, I will have to winterize that I/O of mine :-/ :'( >:(

Re: Missed my chance
 

I was reading the Ocean Isle Fishing Ctr. report, they have already spotted Bluefin Tuna off of the Southern NC coast.

Re: Missed my chance
 

Yeah I think I'll take my TLD 20 and go catch one ;D Yeah right!

While a giant Bluefin would be an awesome catch, something tells me I need a small fortune just to be able to go fish for them. :-/

Re: Missed my chance
 

Nah, I have a few 6/0 Penn Senators on heavy rods that will handle a Bluefin I'll let you use.

I think they catch em on live or cut Pogies.

Re: Missed my chance
 

I was watching a program regarding Tokyo Japan on the Travel Channel last night. Part of the program dealt with the world's largest fish market (I forget the name). Some 30 million dollars of seafood goes through that market EVERY DAY! They showed a good size Bluefin Tuna which had been caught less than 24 hours before off the coast of Boston. That single bluefin tuna went at auction for just over $10,000.00!

Re: Missed my chance
 

I am just waiting for the ice to come in lol

Re: Missed my chance
 

Thanks Pipe...that's the way I gotta look at it...tuition lump in the hose comin' and I'm gettin' ready for it...and here's the REELY tuff part...not as much time to use boat as used to be, so can't justify more $$ w/less time...but now it means more when I do get to go out..last Sunday was a blast just bein' there ;D...

Re: Missed my chance
 

I am leaving for Japan on Sunday Nov. 25,
anyone have any fish they wnat me to take along and sell?

Re: Missed my chance
 

good luck getting them trough TSA

Re: Missed my chance
 

I remember Dan Rather on CBS one nite talkin' about a single bluefin that sold for $325,000 ;D ... good fishin' trip ;) ...

Re: Missed my chance
 

Reel are you sure Dan did not just make that up? Billy Mac ;D

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

Re: Missed my chance
 

Pretty sure not...think he likes smelly fish more than W...understandable ;)

Re: Missed my chance
 

Speaking of fish, my uncle leaves Friday for Thailand for a fishing trip....so he says. I think he's going there for the women. ;D

Re: Missed my chance
 

Hope he doesn't come home w/something penicillin can't get off :o ...

Re: Missed my chance
 

Hey guys! What a boat Reel found! I really can't thank him enough for checking her out and letting me know the exact condition of boat, motor & trailer prior to coming down 7 hours away. Everything went very well Saturday. I met a very nice gentleman who really didn't want to part with his lady but due to present circumstances felt he had too. I really feel that I have upgraded since I sold my 74 I/O this past spring. She was a very nice rig as you guys know, she to found a very nice home. I am in the process of gettin sum pics ready for my NEW gallery. Reel sorry we couldnt hook up that day but I feel we may have another chance in the not so distant future. Hope you all had a nice Thanksgiving, thanks to Reel's efforts I am truly thankful . Its good to back! D

Re: Missed my chance
 

Oh hell I guess I'm gonna have to make me a nice purdy V-21 gallery now. Congrats dmoore! My new V-21 brother! 8)

P.S. In case anyone is wondering what the world I'm talking about - I originally had a '73 V20 before I had the V21 so I just added my V21 pics to the '73 gallery due to extreme laziness ;D

Re: Missed my chance
