grew up on a island in Maine, my dad was a lobster fisherman so it was a wonderful life filled with fishing. My favorite was every summer going on a little long range adventure with pops to chase the blue fin Tuna that will always be my most precious memory forever 300 to 700# tuna on rods and reel, dad really new how to party!!! Plus the other boner fish, I guess that is why I settled in Washington in the end, best fishing in the world!!!!
