Great pictures Dan. Big Hali!

Great looking hali Dan. I see you added some protection from the spines and toothy critters.
Thanks for sharing.

Now that there is a fish bro well done. So was this a catvh and release or are there fish tacos in our future.

Thanx Jerdon,

I had a Sandy turn and puncture one of my air bladders, and another time I had one flip-up into the air off of my lap tray and it punctured the top of the bladder again.   Grrrrrrrrr!
SW fish all come with predatory weapons and or weapons of defense.

So .... yes ... if they're not physically hurting me ... then their hurting my ride.
I just need to figure out a way to install some rhino skin on my float tube for better protection!

Thanx for your interest.

Definitely CPR.
I can always buy outstanding fish tacos at my favorite Mex restaurant, just up the street from my house.
So ... yes, there are fish tacos in our near future!

FYI ... I still follow and believe in the S.W.A.T. Creed ... to always pay ahead and to always (CPR) release my "Personal Best".
