After a morning of rock crushing at the rock pile....I had planned on taking my lovely wife and son on a boat ride with tackle (just in case)....Well, little Joseph was little scared and I didn't want to scare him so I carried my wife and son back to the ramp (two vehicles, just in case

)....Oh the launching, anyone know a cell phone mechanic, mine went swimming and doesn't feel to well....

I stop outside my wading area and start fishing some spotty bottom, third cast produces this....

I buy a shallow water boat and the first fish is a grouper..

I think you're up 3 to 1 on me in the payback department, already. Besides, I'm surprised ya didn't tear the other guide off while backing the trailer down the ramp. Ya do have a reputation, ya know.
