Went out to Rupert and fishing with my Wifes "Uncle Buddy" an old retired salmon boat Captain. Wife came out of the cabin while I was jigging and said Buddy wanted to go to a different spot and to spool up. I did but left the two rigs lying in the deck not put away (stupid prairie boy)
I was in the cabin while Buddy throttled up the big volvo and watched as the weights on the lines bounced overboard followed by the rods. I was sick as I told this old man I hardly knew what had happened.I had 3 more days with him!!
The old guy laughed and said now well have to got to the tackle shop before dinner. He dropped 1400 bucks on 2 rods, reels, and new line. I offered to pay but there was no way then he took us out for dinner!
I miss that old guy with the kind soul alot. Pulled in a 100lb halibut that trip on one of the new rods.
