Ok so one day burnt in my memory for ever...

Me and Russ, 2 sales people who usually have flexible schedules.. He is free this particular day but I have an I have an important confernce call I cant miss but I wanna fish too so I tell him” I’m in” and will take the call on the boat....

We’re out by Keyport early morning on a blue bird spring day and so far nothing happening....

I go down in the cabin, close the hatch to drown out the sounds of the seas and start my call... A few minutes later Russ is hooking up fish after fish, opens the cabin door and hands me a pole with a Striper on.. Russ laughing his ass off and people on the call asking “what’s so funny and what’s that noise” ?

Sad to say Russ passed away suddenly a few years afterwards but I still can remember him and this day like yesterday..

Sandworms were the ticket that day as were me and Russ.....
