I'd be willing to split the charter with you if you're interested.

=====================================

I'd be interested in doing that some time. Drop me a note and we can
work out the details.

Actually, I proved you perpetually Off Topic..... if that makes me
stupid. Fine. 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 ...........

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.

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.

Not a fish story. The shark is known locally by the name "Old
Hitler"...but
most people consider him to be around 18 feet...not 15 feet.

LOL, he's been know as "Old Hitler" for about 50 + years now.

If there really was just one "Old Hitler", that would not only make it
perhaps
the biggest hammerhead in the world but for sure the oldest. LOL

The joke I used to tell at Miller's was, you could tell which Hammerhead
was
the real "Hitler" by the O2 bottle he was carrying with him along with all
the
seeing eye Remoras.

This isn't some internet goofball bull****ting you.

The story I posted is not BS.

Magic Hook (aka--Capt.
Rick Featherstone) is one of the most respected guides in Southwest
Florida.
He's been on George Poveromo's ESPN2 show, and has lectured at Poveromo's
Salt Water Series Seminars. He's also co-authored articles in several top
fishing magazines.

Yeah, you're right, a fishing guide would never exaggerate a fish story.
LOL

"18' long, 5 or 6' wide hammer, body around the gills was about 4' thick.
Dorsal was 4'. I have no clue on weight but a wild guess is 800"

800lb?
Gee, he's only off by, oh, 800-1000lb or so. If the fish really was 18
feet
long that is.

Agreed.

Or, was the shark 15 feet or less and he was right on? :-)

But you disputed the 15'-shark-snatching-tarpon claim that I posted?

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. :-)
