The Dark Side-open seat coming up

[Herring Problem]

The Dark Side , can be the worst thing to happen to an salmon chaser on big blue. When you think about the conditions you fish in and the gear change over, the Dark Side could lead to a high rate of casualties.

I started out with five feathers,one cedar pulg and one long squid dasiey chain. Over the Last year, I continued my qwest, too buy traps,heads, clones,teasers, and more chains. Don't forget the tuna 300lb hand line, 200 lb tuna leaders, tuna double hooks, swivels and more tackle than I have ever bought for salmon.

Add more spinner rods to the arsenal of level winds, better and heaveir rods and braided lines.
Heaven forbid, does this ever stop?

Go out and catch 24 fish on one week end, wow we have tuna!
Bring home more tuna than I can handle, canned,frozen, eaten, oh yes this is sad, eat raw tuna while your canning and you are not hungry for any dinner. Wife is upset,because she fixed a nice dinner and it is not going to be eaten. Blame it all on the tuna.

Give away tuna, make friends happy. Make wife think I've gone insane.
always lookin at another way to get back on the ocean to catch more tuna. Constantly reading tuna post, calling buddies and getting tuna reports. Making plans for the next run. Heaven forbid: why anyone would bring someone over to the dark side and not warn them, the pocket book will take a big, really big hit.
