I love this quote by Capt Frenette-
Quote:
Big game fishing is an ultimate display of teamwork. All the efforts of everyone on board have to be perfectly coordinated."
<font size="2" face="verdana,arial,helv">This is so true in so many fishing situations. Sometimes it even plays true in getting the boat out of the driveway!

Great story!
Last season I had a fish take a short line off the corner of the boat and I pulled back on the throttle as the snubber streached to 5 feet andas i put my hand onit it hit the 6 foot safety and broke the 500 cord. I would of like to had that one!
Good Fishin'!

Salty Dogs,
Check out the other post about the BLUE FIN Train Ride. I don't know if I ever want to go swimming even in a pool again. Man, would that be something to go eye ball to eye ball with in its domain.
