TENACITY

Over the years I have been a part of many fishing forums both public and private. At one time I was on the board of directors at Full Speed Fishing, I then went on to become the founder and president of Outcastanglers, a private members only fishing club. I am a driven, passionate person with a can do, get it done attitude, and when I set my mind to something I achieve it and then some. As a result, I tend to rise above the crowd and work my way to the apex quickly. Its funny, but people both admire and hate my intensity all at the same time. I find that when you are sitting on top everyone wants to drag you down. They want what you have, what you are, what you have created and pooled your resources and contacts to build. But they do not want to work for it, they want to be grandfathered in, they want you to create great things and then seize the moment when they can assume control and reap the benefits of your drive and passion. I am an angler, an intense and focused individual who is not content with getting shit faced drunk staring at a rod tip *waiting* for a fish to *maybe* happen. I am not the hack who is content with a horrible cast that *accidentally* yields a fish. I strive for perfection...for excellence, and thats the way it will always be. I created this blog for me, by me. It can never be edited for content, and my words and creations are mine and can never be stolen. You can read if you wish, and ignore if you wish, but either way....I will take full credit for my own hard work from this day forward.

I recently had the honor of attending a much anticipated trip aboard the magnificent F/V Pacific Voyager for hard pulling tuna. I managed to win the jackpot with a 36 pound albie on 20 pound test and a super light Loomis. It took me over an hour to land. For the rest of my days I will remember this excursion and be forever grateful to the stand up individual who made this magnificent memory possible. Tom, you have it brother, you are the real deal, and I swear we will read about your achievements one day in a book that matters. The crew of the Pacific Voyager is as good as it gets, and the captain is as passionate as I have ever seen. We ended up with a count of around 107, a mix of blue fin, yellow fin, and my winning albie. I would go again right now given the chance. I cannot wait until next year.

Thanks again Tom for a most epic experience, thanks to Seth for being a steadfast friend for YEARS...you have always accepted me for me. And for you jealous haters who were pissed that I won the jackpot...karmic retribution works in mysterious ways....and sometimes that retribution comes in the form of being a WINNER.
