Sad that he is no longer with us.


Congratulations on the well-processed shark. The end products look delicious!

I never need to leave my 360° swivel fighting chair...I did get rid of gas jug no need for it.im just like you in your kayak I can reach everything from my chair and I can stand up and that is Tsharks not Mako ,Bob must mean they taste the same and as far as dinks what do you expect coming out of mission bay in a canoe. I'll probably never eat Tshark again because the last two times I went to the Yukon dive sight first a woman died scuba diving on a boat I was on and the second time I caught the Tshark. I bought a 7gill up of the bottom of the wreck El Ray as big around as you can hold your arms out and make a circle....my canoe works for me. All I'm say is there is something better than what's on market that's light weight. Alittle taller a little shorter and Alittle wider than what I have....tight lines amigo I hope to go out somewhere between Alaska and Cabo San Lucas 😎 I consider the range in my canoe unlimited providing weather is fare.

Thanks been hearing about that boaters card.
Another fee by the Democrats no doubt.
I have owned 4 registered boats over the years, but with increased population a good idea. I have seen people do alot of stupid things on the water.
You won't see me on the water anywhere on the weekends.

Actually the Boaters Card is only $10 through Boat US. I got mine 2 years ago, well before the time I'm actually required to have one. It was a very intensive education with 7 sections covering just about everything including safety, rules, even boat hull design. I took my time completing a course per day. Each course is 40 -70 pages and you have to spend about 25 seconds per page before you can go to the next. You have to pass an exam after each section. In the end you have about an 80 question final exam. I would guess that it would take a minimum of 8 hour to complete the entire course. With all the stupid antics I see on the water I'm very happy that everyone will be required to get this card by 2025. After I received my permanent Boating card Tow Boat US gave me a $50 discount on my next on the water towing bill.

If your engine is under 15HP you don't need one.

I wish Florida enforce requirements like that... too many idiots on the water with no knowledge about what they are doing. Definitely the biggest danger to offshore fishing in the more populated areas of Florida.
