Default Must read--the gambler operation

Scheduled for the 11/13-14 tuna trip, my SUV gave up that morning. Called the office manager, left message to cancel with reason @ 1 PM....Departure time was 8PM Wed. nite Got a call @ 3:48PM from Capt74(Greg) telling me he was on his way to get me--I'm in Pa.--1hr45min away.. he should be here by 6PM & we'll make it by 8PM---Capt. Bob said he's not going 'til we get there...We make it to the Gambler just as Bob is giving his pre-boarding speech & prayer @ 7:45...
For an angler to be that well thought-of to make sure he's on board is TOTALY MIND BOGOLING!!! & to take those extreme measures to ensure his boarding is beyond all hopes & expectations...I get teary-eyed whenever I now think of the circumstances---and I really did when it was happening!!!(kind'a emotional anyway)... A very good buddy(Shorts, 2na) who also lives in Pa., brought me home with my gear.
I am so indebted and at the same time blessed!!!!!!!
To make it even more incredible, I got the "pool" fish & the first fish...And you ask, why do I fish on the GAMBLER?
I truly feel so humbled!!!

That’s a nice story and speaks volumes that they would do that for you.

Really, Greg74 volunteered. Said he could not leave Chuck home. He is the best. It was good to see your face, Chuck. I hope Greg didn't white-knuckle you on the ride I told him I would wait.

Great gesture for sure .

I know Capt Bob goes out of his way other times also .
Seen him walk many of his customers around the tackle vendor's at the salt show to make sure they buy the correct tackle to maximize their experience on those trips.

Chuck, you gave me Great hope when you hooked and landed the first tuna!!! I’m so glad Greg went and got you. As for taking my pool money, I’ll leave that alone. Lol
It was my first time on the Gambler and know it won’t be my last. Capt Bobby and crew are definitely top notch. I just want to thank Capt Bobby again for going those EXTRA miles to allow me and the others to catch a tuna knowing this will be my last trip for them in 2019.

Thanks, Dennis

I had heard about your love of the canyons. Good to finally fish with you, although I didn't know who you were until Dave from the Reel seat told me.
