Rossman's fishing was definitely impressive
I really like that guy. Wish I had more of his kind of wisdom.

He mentions fishing a maximum of 40lb test for stability reasons. I guess the kayaks have become more stable since then, as I will use up to 100lb braid and 200lb leader when targeting grouper. Working the rod strictly pointed at the bow becomes mandatory to prevent flipping, and breaking off snags is a SOB, but it is doable on a PA14. |

The name does not sound familiar. I was not full-time. I don't remember who worked the galley. I worked with John Dipley, Frank Hall, John Hess, Les Fetton, and there was a kid who liked to lift weights and he would let me shower at his parent's house in Pedro between trips. I believe his name was Lewy.
