Hey if that old man Santiago can land an 18' Marlin in an old wooden skiff, alone, with a handline .... I say bring it on.
You know the story, it won a Pulitzer and a Nobel peace prize for literature.
What we have up here is Bill's puny little northern Pacific cousin. Only 7' long and maybe 200 lbs. He's sure gonna look purty hanging on the wall in my cube. Guess I'll need a bigger office .... one with real walls and a door. :grin:
What's the bill on that fish for anyway?
