Almost Sunk!

yep, TEAM NO-BUCKS, ya like that BR? when i was 10, me and my buddy nick went fishin one mornin. we rode our bikes down to long beach harbor, fishin pole in 1 hand, bait bucket on the handle bars. got to the bait shop about sunrise and emptied our pockets. 1 nickle each,lol. mr bradie said "at least ya'll got 2 nickels to rub together". just as i was fixin to ask how long i would have to work to get some bait the guy behind us said"go ahead and fill thier bucket up. i'll sponsor the TWO NICKELS FISHING TEAM today" i caught a 8 and a half pound speck (thats a yellowmouth or seatrout to you yankees) that mornin. a personal best till this day. the name kinda stuck.
16 years later me and nick wanted to go fishin. i already spent all my money gettin my force to run. and nick, well, nicks just a bum. so we had no money and about three gallons of gas in the boat. rolled out about 4 a.m. when launchin old man bradie asked me why i wasnt gettin any bait. when i told him he said "team two nickels now team no nickels". nick said "no- bucks sounds better (i been fishin with that man for 20 years now and, ya know, when i think about it, that is the only contribution he has ever made,lol) old man bradie gave him a look and said, "what a4re ya'll, capt. brokeass and his deckbum?" "come get yall some shrimp" needless to say, it was a short run. right around to the catwalk and lines in the water by sunup. i caught a 40 pound bull red (thats a red drum measuring over 30 inches for you yankees) that day. a personal best and less than a pound off the state record!

yep, i am capt. brokeass of the NO-BUCKS FISHING TEAM
