Duke, didnt hear the storey about the net, but think I am entitled to half that board for spotting it. Plus remember, he is my "buddy". 1 mainiac- Yikes.. I lost 3 offshore boards, a couple 300 coppers, a 450 of copper, 2- 12# balls with releases, had a mate drop 2 tekota talora combo's, couple baits, and ended the year needing some repairs.. Kinda pricy year. Did 34 trips and I think averaged 12 fish a trip though.. I am content with that.
