He measured 37", and I suspect about 20-25lbs...but he fought like a 5 foot shark. I've caught most of my prized catches this year: 5 1/2 foot blacktip shark in January, 90-100 lb. Tarpon in April, several 20-30 lb. cobia in May, an eight-foot nurse shark in June, and a 125lb (est.) striped marlin in August. All but the marlin were caught within 5 miles of shore, and within 15 miles of my home pass (you call them "inlets" on the East coast). The marlin came out of the Pacific off of Los Cabos. Because of the heavy gear we used for the Marlin, the tarpon fight seemed like a lot harder work-out. I'm hoping to get a "smoker" king this year. I've caught several "snakes" (skinny kings) the last few times out. I also hear the blackfin tuna are out about 30-50 miles around the shrimp boats. I'm waiting for those things to move to within 20-30 miles so I can target them. |
I purchased a new 97 35hp 3cyl Johnson outboard from them for around
3500.00, and paid them 500.00 extra for the extended 5yr warranty, When it blew the powerhead I filed a claim and found out I didn't have an extended warranty. They just pocketed the $$. When I showed the reciept for the extended warranty They said, OH we didn't do the deal with you, the dealership was under different ownership then. True story. F... Jacobson's, They Suck! UD http://community.webtv.net/capuglyda...inUglyDansJack How long ago did this occur? Would an "investigative report" from a local publication be of any use? :-) There are some very explicit laws in Washington State about extended warranty claims. Among other options you can explore is taking your case to the insurance commissioner. If the previous ownership didn't pay the insurance premium for your claim, that puts them on the hook entirely. |
Chuck after the elections it was hoped you, jps etc & you know who

Chuck, Thanks for the offer but its just water under the bridge now. It happened back in '98 or so after the original warranty expired. The joker that they sold the dealership to only lasted a year before having it taken back by the original owners. I filed a complaint on deaf ears with both the AG office and Senn's office, So I guess you won't be surprised if I say good riddance to both of them :) From all I remember it happened to 40 or 50 other customers. Next time your over at Sure marine, Would you please send Rick, Eric and Steve my regards, and let them know "Boats" the wonder dog is still alive and kickin, Thanks, UD http://community.webtv.net/capuglyda...inUglyDansJack |

I hardly think I had anything at all to do with Peggy leaving & hope not but as for : I had the pleasure of meeting Dave Brown in person once and he struck me as being a pretty straight guy Yep he was smooth dealer could present well sales sales sales. struggling to run a small marina business in a small, out of the way place in the world that has about a 3 month season. Yes & I guess that meant he got lots of extra "rebates" however he failed to mention the facts in all the dealer markup threads over the years, indeed when I repeatedly called him on it he just personally attacked me to maintain the deception (don't your remember him saying he'd just "love" for all you gullible dealer lackies to see his "invoice" & show how little his markup was????, you were being had by pros!!!) Indeed it wasn't till the OMC dealers tried to sue the OMC bankruptcy administrator to steal what little was left from the union retirees, that the magnitude of the deception was fully revealed (30% on Ficht sales!!!!!). Needless to say when attacked I happily oblige & will again if & when the opportunity presents, hopefully gaining as much pleasu-) If you are giving your personal view on him so you should, I guess I can say I disagree?? but as always I like to give relevant reasons. Although I'm a bit chuffed if you say I was instrumental in his demise from here, really??? gee given what I took from him & the other OMC bludgers;......... what a bunch of wimps!!!:-) However I probably should be a bit modest & tell you if you bothered to check you would have seen they were here spamming & abusing right up till about 3 weeks before OMC rolled into the table drain (was that possibly the time dealers got prior knowledge the end was nigh???? but continued to sell defunct engines to unsuspecting consumers??), then your good bloke NG dealers just dumped all the people they'd been telling to buy Ficht:-) &.... wait for it.......... on mass ran away!!!!!! As I said at the time I know I wished a pox on all their houses & thought I'd done pretty OK when the pine tree arrived; but gee what happened next was scary even for me:-) Their victims were here day after day leading to weeks asking for any help or even the most basic of information but ALL your hero dealers just ran & hid as spammer cowards always do when there's nothing left to sell!!! sell!!!! sell!!! What?? then about a year or so later??? Tried to come back as a Merc dealer:-) now that was funny really really hilarious, because during the Ficht debacle he'd told this NG they should buy Ficht not only because there was nothing wrong with it:-) but because they'd been told of warehouses full of blown Optimaxes:-) Would have made spamming Optimaxes a bit difficult yes?? No sales to made from the spam so ........... Thanks Wayne brought back some NG funny times, sad times for the boaters taken in by them ........ & the union retirees taken in by the inept union funds of course. K |
Subject: Boston Whaler or Grady White?
From: "NOYB" This year, the trick was to get the tarpon up and revived before a 15 foot hammerhead snatched him from you. 15 feet! Nice fish story. But here's a better and true one about a real 15 footer. :-) http://www.whopperstopper.net/readin...hammerhead.htm "The shark was a great hammerhead. ****** It measured 15 feet, 6 inches and had a girth of 10 feet, 3 inches. It weighed an incredible 1,475 pounds. The team from Miami also examined the catch from head to tail. In the roof of the shark's mouth they counted 19 stingray barbs, while in its bulging belly they found a 110-pound lemon shark. The lemon shark was freshly eaten, sliced cleanly in half, and when added to the shark's weight pushed the final tally to nearly 1,600 pounds-more than 600 pounds over the current all-tackle world record."

I've never been there, but there's a place in the Keys called Robbie's where the tarpon literally eat out of your hand right at the dock. Fishing there would be a *huge* no-no. |

Not a problem... I'm happily stupid. You can be returned to the bit-bucket, with a click of the mouse, as easily as that idiot, K that stands on her head and hates liberals, dealers, manufacturers, and unions, but thinks businesses should perpetually and unconditionally underwrite purchases of all used items.... I thought a year or so was enough to give you kiddies room to grow up, perhaps I was wrong..... No no you were definitely wrong about me Gene, but hey you must be used to that you're wrong here just about all the time:-), whatever please immediately put me back in the bucket, I don't want you any more than you want me. Great done deal & thanks, don't go being a Krause now; remember we're done:-) I don't like being verballed by the likes of you either, I've made it clear about 4 times in this thread alone that I'm happy for the dealer not to warrant the product if indeed the dealer has no responsibility (as seems so) but I still defend the thread starters right to complain when he got dumped for complaining. Just my opinion or course but should be more of it I say; then they'd learn to treat people properly. Well OK OK:-) some might; most won't:-) Anyway bye Gene you take care & remember not to go out without your head protection on. I also suspect you better give it more than just another year before you try me again, what??? say at least 10 yrs; Save please don't hesitate if you need my open unbiased opinion to help you "if" your way too low freeboard transom with poorly designed outboard well inclusion (what??? you saved a few bucks on short shaft engines??? surely not???) sinks "your" GW:-) Oops my mistake I do sincerely apologise, I should have said as it quietly fills up by the time you notice it will definitely roll over, so assuming your dictionary is still dry you can check it & tell the rescuers it's a "capsized" GW; is that OK now??? I'll miss you but hey I admit I do deserve to be spared your thoughts on my contributions, how sad ........... K |

Subject: Boston Whaler or Grady White?
From: "NOYB" I've never been there, but there's a place in the Keys called Robbie's where the tarpon literally eat out of your hand right at the dock. Fishing there would be a *huge* no-no. Same in Key West. It was fun to hook one up on heavy line with the drag locked down and watch them jump 10 feet in front of you a couple of times then unhook them and let them swim away very green.

Subject: Boston Whaler or Grady White?
From: Short Wave Sportfishing Come on down this summer. We can correct that. :-) As it happens, I have some free time this summer. I might take you up on that. Just let me know. I can put you in touch with one of a number of tarpon guides. For pass fishing, beach fishing, fly, live bait and or jig fishing. Capt. Bill |

There is a difference between informed and ignorant. Unfortunately you don't seem to recognize it. It's also unfortunate that any knowledge on the subject of boats you may have is buried and far over shadowed by your ignorance. So sad. My sympathies too those who may have only you as an adult role model. -- MikeG Heirloom Woods www.heirloom-woods.net |

For what it's worth the worlds record Great Hammerhead was caught right here in Sarasota and it ONLY weighed 991lb. You post seemed to make it out like 15 foot Hammerheads were an everyday occurrence around here. But the fact is, sadly, they aren't. I've personally seen a 12-footer cruising a wreck about 25 miles off of Marco...and I've heard of several in the 12+ foot range snatching tarpon from anglers off of FMB, and in Boca Grande Pass. |
NOYB,
According to this Maryland web site, the record Hammerhead catch was 191 lbs for a scalloped 8/20/93, and 165 lbs for a smooth. They were taken by Ocean City. Didn't say what the length was. http://www.dnr.state.md.us/fisheries...rt/record.html I know one time when fishing from a party boat off of Tarpon Springs a hammerhead surfaced that was much heavier than 99 lbs. Sure looked all of 15 feet. Near everybody took a step back from the rail. :-) Paul "NOYB" wrote in message ... "LaBomba182" wrote in message ... "LaBomba182" wrote in message ...

Sorry, must have misread, I thought it said 99 lbs. Yes, quite a difference.
