I wanted to post a belated (vacation travel) thanks to Ray for the care package he was gracious enough to donate to a long lost Chicago dog. He also sent me away with a great card! Thanks to Mike (Nalu) for the beer and hosting the great party! I didn't get to meet too many but all seemed to be having a ball! Thanks to Sublime for the video too! I haven't seen it yet but later today

Back in Chicago now and it seems sort of lonely. I do hope to get out for a week this summer and get in some tuners of my own. It will be 2 years without a tuna rod in hands

Again, thanks Ray, the tuna arrived in O'hare intact and ready to eat

Glad you got a chance to see some of the dogs. Sorry I couldn't be there, had to work. Look me up if you need a ride for tuners this summer. Sold the "Big Liar" and bought a new 26' North River O/S.

Brian,
That video is AWESOME!!!!
I just watched it again and other than a Very fat skipper5 on one of the boats, it was a great capture of the fun, the beauty, and the nature of our coast.
I always thought the white marked dolphins were Dahl's (and they may be) but I went to the Chicago aquarium and they have Pacific Whitesided dolphins and they are very much like our dolphins. They are separate species (internet search) and have similar ranges. I wonder how you can tell the difference at sea? It seems that the whitesides are less distinct in their markings maybe.
Anyway, keep up the good work and I hope to see many of you this summer!

Dave, don't mention it. If there is a large supply left on the shelf I might not get to go

.
I hope you and your family enjoy it.
It was great to see you again and we look forward to fishing with you soon.
