BigFish really is a true sportsman. I met him the other day while he was packing up his gear and loading a couple of nice stripers he just caught. I've seen him a couple of times before and this time I figured I'd ask him what he was using and if he had any pointers however having never met him before I wasn't exactly sure what kind of response i'd get. Not only did he give me some pointers on how to fish from the shore, I usually fish from my boat, he offered to let me tag along the next time he was in the area and show me firsthand some of the things he was talking about. It's not often you meet someone with a ton of knowledge who is willing to share it so easily.

This reminds me of an encounter more than 10 years past now. Meeting a pleasant, gentle giant on the rocks who was eager to swap fishing stories and talk techniques. It was the following season when after joining here that I was reintroduced to the soon to be famous Internet personality now called the BigFish. Many,many great fishing adventures followed for years after but it was that memorable first meeting that I will never forget!

I miss you guys too, but you didn't even get the joke about the first meeting.
