AMEN! This gentleman will live a long, long time 

Do you think he ever has a bad day at work??? 

Live hard.........die early while you still look good! 

That does look peaceful!

Guys - that's a rock he's on...  he can't afford a kayak!   

Any time I start thinking I'd love a less stressful job I think of how stressed out I'd be being broke!   

Oh darn that is a rock. I thought he was walking on water! lol

Less stress does not always equal less money. Just have to find your place and own balance.

I'd bet he's a civil servant, Parks and Rec Department.  With full Pension, Benefits etc....  I'm sure he can afford a yak or two 


Mooch...this would be the equivalent of an F&G gig for you brother.  I'm sure you could convince the boss to let you patrol via a kayak.

Words of wisdom.  Gotta get me a life coach (when I can afford it!!   ).

The grass (or algae) is always greener...

Those who hold employment in in a profession for which they are passionate AND pays enough to support lifestyles for themselves and their dependents, well what more could one ask for.

I don't know about the pay, but I bet this man DOES love his job AND it may very well support his lifestyle.  Regardless of the pay, I do envy the fact that he works in such a serene environment, where all the components are simple (or at least swim around in apparent harmony).

Not to mention that ripping a 1/0 treble hook on a sliding sinker would be pretty serene but I am pretty sick that way.

Don't get me started on life coaches.

Dear Joel/ Da Mooch from Matt near Mendocino;

You are really genuinely welcome to have a simple calm koi pond here near Mendocino at anytime.

I can't find a girlfriend for you soon, but we could have a little fun hooking up a trailer for you, if you would maybe like to try living near here on the Mendocino Coast.  I guess I sound weird being confidant as a friend but I can tell good people from a long way off.

I don't do NCKA fishing competitions in Elk or Lake Mendocino, so I don't meet a lot of NCKA people. I basically work and swim locally.

My favorite local person in NCKA is Dave/Pescadore.  I hope you maybe get a fishy job with him sometime.

I am basically interested in restoring our streams and rivers for the fish.

I love diving and I hope you like diving too.  Diving is not scary or dangerous if we do it right.

It's very fun.

Anyway, Joel,  I hope to meet you someday, in all due respect.

-Matt  (707) 937-2058

Matt - once my work schedule changes for the better, I'll be heading your way pretty soon. I'm looking forward to popping my first abalone and of course, do more spearfishing Looking forward to meeting you as well
