I fished with Darius on one of his first kayak trips. He kept falling asleep   

Now he's everywhere, catching everything... in quantity   

 Nice to get out on the water today with the guys. Nice halibut Ty-superfishman, MF Kurt the fish measuring guy said your fished weighed #28's. Was very slow for me today, was so up and down with the windswell that I couldn't even enjoy a cigar down wind from everyone. Oh and did I say nice halibut, very nice halibut, I still have yet to catch one this year.
