I'll be working with Howard too this summer ... well, for 2 weeks at the end of August on a couple trips to Foggy Bay.  The only reason I helped Joel with this job was so that someone was around to mind the home base while Howard and I are having fun in the bush.   :smt044

Seriously though Joel.  I couldn't think of a better guy for the job.  And you are going to have SO MUCH FUN up there.

This is great news Joel! Wow wow wow! Congrats!

I feel an NCKA Style Alaskan Hookup coming soon. I'm kidding now but I bet it happens.  :smt001
I wouldn't go so far as to call a lingcod filthy but they're definitely dirty. But, a lingcod's got personality. Personality goes a long way.
