Tunas go the one and only

[pargon]

Fred,
Haven't got the pictures from Chris yet, but he finished his first week at Mag Bay. He hasn't sent me the pictures because the one and only internet cafe in Pt. San Carlos was wiped out by Norbert. I decided to do this report here, as you are basically Bobo's (Chris' nom de pescar) hero on this one. They did very well on Yellow Fin Tuna in several locations, from 30-60lbs., virtually every fish on your spreaders and spiders. THE ONE, THE ONLY ORIGINAL BRAIN CHILDREN OF YOURSELF. Using your advice Chris told the Captain to keep trolling after one hookup, until the spread was all tunafied, and several times they were draggin' 4-6 fish. As they had only two fishermen they ended up cutting back to two rods when they were in the thick of feeding tuna. Chris told me that he was unhookin' and bleedin' fish so continually that he was stackin' the spreaders on the swim platform and that one of the chasebaits slipped off into the water 8" behind the platform, HOOKUP! Not only did Chris get stoked on the amount of fish they got, the customers had a ball watchin' the Flyin' Yellowfin Circus when they attacked the spread. The weather was Pacific side rough, and the lures worked perfectly, even the few we have that are nearly three years old, and well broken in. I know that there are some slimy bastards out there that have stolen your design and claim that it is there own, but those pieces of shit (both slimy b's and their creations) just don't have the mojo that you pass on to each and every lure. Thanks Fred,
David

David,

Thank you for the report. Please thank Crispy for it when you talk to him and I can't wait to see the pictures. I guess that one 8" behind the swimstep goes to show that you absolutely cannot fish a bar too close to the boat, a hard thing to convince some people of, but oh so true! It's good to remember that tuna don't have rear view mirrors, like cars. If they pop up right behind the boat, which they so often do, and there's nothing there, they usually vamoose. If you don't have the close holes covered, you'll never know that they were there.

I love that "tunafied" thing as far as keeping going and getting covered. And watching those bars get hammered up top surely is a sight to see.

As far as those who literally steal an old, sick, 100% disabled man's life's work from him after earning his trust and giving his word about a lot of things and then cloning everything, including how his catalog is layed out and even the photography in it, well, I have nothing to say about that.

By the way, if you have a little time, Google up the Wikepedia encyclopedia and check out the copyright and trademark portion. Stealing intellectual property is a very bad thing too. And then laughing about it on the Web is truly lowlife bullshit.

Well, glad to hear that things are rocking for you down in The Bay. The 'hoos are next...I can hear 'em growling all the way up here!

Thanks again for the report and support.

Theft is theft no matter how it's done or what is stolen!!! My wife was a professional photographer and when I looked into it for her copyright protection was stronger than patent.

FRED...YOU CAN'T REPLACE THE ORIGINAL AND HE CAN'T STEAL IT FROM YOU.

YOU DID THE WORK, WROTE THE BOOKS AND YOU HAVE THE RESPECT OF THE FISHING COMMUNITY, MINUS A COUPLE OF ASSHOLES THAT DON'T MATTER.

FUCK THE REST...ARCHER'S ARE THE BEST!!
