Sorry rain on your flooded street but that pic is a hoax. Try comparing that shark to the National Geographic 2005 issue of the shark and the kayak.
What I CAN tell you though is that there's surely a pic about to hit the net depicting a flooded NYC street with Jimmy Hoffa going downstream on a one way.
Happy birthday to you Paul. I'm not gunna ask what you got. You already have what we all wanted. Have a great rest of the day, stay healthy and catch a large muskie while you're up there. Joey, you get a bigger one.
While an introduction is always nice, he's only asking where someone launched from. I don't think that'll really put him onto anyones "secret" fish hideout.
If you really like this boat, messing around looking for insurance rates and parking spaces will make you lose it. If you get a price on insurance then get a lead on a good parking space and the boat is sold to someone else it'll be time to start the process all over again.
But it appears to be a good boat if the price is right.
Write him back and ask him if he minds that the item is in a size 16.
edited to add: Redskullz, you wouldn't happen to have a really nice boat for sale would you? I have to be away on a business trip but I'm sure we can work something out.
The concept has been around for a long long time and is possibly the best method of guide placement on a conventional (read baitcasting) rod. When a rod is under load with a heavy fish, having the last guide (the tip) at the top will exert far more tension in the rod than if the tip guide was on the bottom. Less effort is needed to reel in a fish. Fewer tip fractures due to torsion at the tip of the rod.
