Hmmm. Never heard of her!


For those that don't know, when I joined this site I saw the talk about Jim/Skipper9, and decided to go on a walk-on trip with him in 2013 - in hopes to learn some new info to take apply when fishing with my dad. I didn't learn anything or catch any fish but Jim became a great friend (I am just teasing Jim - we did great). I went again the following year, and stayed in contact with Jim. If dad and I didn't have them going, I could text Jim and he was willing to share some info to put us on some fish - pretty amazing for a captain to do that! I guess I don't remember who's idea it was for me to start working as a first mate - his or mine, but the rest is history. Jim and I like to have fun with our groups and I'm happy to help increase our catch rates - that last part I made up..its just one of the jokes on the boat.
