Word. Ego overriding awareness just doesn't bode well in a social situation, and the deck of any sportboat is a social situation rife for an ego-fueled disaster. We had a couple of classic examples of THAT guy on the boat, and I think we always will. Luckily, they weren't any worse, because they could have been.

I really don't want to see Bill take anyone's manhood from them. Hearing the squeals late at night is bad enough.

Top Gun 80 2 years ago. Apearently "that guy " had a contest with his grandpa to see who could catch 10 fish first. If any one fished the the TG80 knows the bait tank is tight. Every on basically takes a turn but it doesnt take long to get a lively in on a stop. This 19 year old kid on a albie trip was playing Dennis Rodman at the bait tank! Grabing your bait right out in front of you, over your shoulder cast and drop his rod right next to your ear and say watchit comming through. Bow hooked and would seemingly wait till the fish hit hit the stern before running the rail catching lines in his wake. I had to dyke him off a coupple times when were at the bait tank to make him re tie to get his stingey ass out of the way. He heard it but couldent see it. The deck hand laughed his ass off. Beginning of the second day every one on the boat straightened him out with a rashin of shit. Once my brother said somthing everyone jumped on the social bandwagon and threw some verbal lead. Much mure comfortable at the tank after that. Taft just said," What the fuck is your problem kid?"
There are others but this one irked me good.

, well obviously there is a story. Looking forward to hearing it. Looks like good fishing out there.

What about the guy who pins on a bait and throws in on top of the trollers and bonks one of them on the head with his rod? Like what the fuck are you doing? Don't you get it? If we lose this jig fish and the school swims away, the captain is going to have some choice words for you.

Oh, and Keith; it's not about you. It never was. Just sharing some fun stories.

"Just let it sink out, buddy. There is not one of us that is perfect. The whole thing will sink out very soon. The important part is to let yourself off the hook and relax."

Those words, a quote from Ishmael, can bring a lot of peace, properly applied to a troubled mind. Thanks, Bill.

Yeah thats what Joe the deckhand said he actually asked me if I was sick or something because I was being too mellow. Life is too short to be an asshole, But when some dickhead barks at me I still remember how

"That Guy" drank way too much and threw up from his stateroom to the head, on the stairs, down the halls, on the floor, and kinda near the pot. I noticed it during the middle of the night, cleaned it all up, it happens.
Next day port forward head has problems flushing and eventually backs up beyond belief. Plunge it, nothing. Snake the lines, nothing. I start taking apart all the lines which is fine, it is something that needs to be done from time to time and cleaned out. Anyway I come across some dentures, they were clogging the lines, and the reason I was knee deep in turds.
I knew it was the old guy that had vomited all down the forward bunkroom hall ways, for one it was the same head and by looking at him he had no fucking top teeth, obviously he was not planning to eat much for the remainder of the trip. I bagged the dentures with out washing them off.
"That Guy" (as you call him) never said a word, now toothless, and he knows I went thru the heads because of a clogged line, the clog was your teeth dude, fess up, ask for them back, never a word. We fished all day, he wanted to troll with his spinning out fit and was very hard headed about it, "Fuck It", he was from the back woods and did not trust our advice. The opperator of the trip eventually discarded him for his antic's.
Anyway, that night we all sit down for a steak dinner, and this toothless hick passs on a steak, I think he just wanted mashed potatoes or something. Being the friendly nice guy that I am, I ask him, "Hey no steak tonight, is everything alright?" He kinda mumbles back that he was not that hungry.
I pull out a zip lock bag from my pocket which has his dentures in-crusted in vomit and turds and ask him, "Did you loose your teeth?" He took a long look at the bag with his teeth in it and finally replied, yes, (no shit their your fucking teeth).
He gave the teeth a rinse, popped them back in and ordered a rare steak for dinner.
Obviosly folks get sick aboard boats, and I could have gone about it a different way. But this guy was a jerk by nature, and I was never rude, I gave him his teeth back, I could have just tossed them, which he must have thought were gone anyway after he spackled the whole downstairs with his puke. You just think he might of asked if we had found any missing teeth.
