Thanks for sharing your story Todd. The good news is, you caught some quality fish. I think a lot of us have had similar stories. Mine is just a bit more extreme. My friend, myself and our wives got caught up in a bad storm years ago while fishing on the delta and capsized my 19 foot boat. I was able to retrieve the boat the next day, lost all my fishing gear and the wives were pissed off ( ex wife now ). By the way, we didn't catch any fish, got a story though. Wayne
