Team Sebago




So I arrive at Key West to find beautiful weather, cold drinks, and fun as usual, haven't seen capt tony or gary yet though, but did hang at Irish Kevin's and Hogs Breath with the crazy crew of Lured Away till all hours of the am wednesday, that is the photo above of mike and I, he was forced to wake up from a nap and go hang out with me and chico, albert and his wife, it was big fun.......
Day before the tournament we all go out to breakfast at Pepe's where Jimmyjam has a squarepants spongebob tea party set up, with each tea cup with a different happy or grumpy face, you do the math there......
we laughed and were being silly, then the guys went to get bait and I went to sign up and get groceries etc.
the day goes by fairly normal, we go to the captains meeting, and all is fun, then we go to the team fountain at this restaurant and the table we were sitting at outside was uneven,and I stood up the same time the table raised up, and well, it came down crushing my pinky toe and the top of my foot.
So today we were captain brokebone foot, the colors of my foot when the sun came up matched the blues and greens and depths of black in the ocean,
yep, kinda hurt,
but we are champions, play through the pain.......
the pain got worse as we could not hook a decent fish,
we watched all the boats around us catch fish, and we were just getting skunked!
we finally got a whopping 15 pounder, an embarassing fish in our home waters, but riduculous for Key West in March.
our good buddy Darren is in fifth with a 43 pounder, caught literally right next to us,
BUT
OUR BOAT WRAP LOOKS FABULOUS! AND WE WEIGHED IN OUR POOR LITTLE FISH TO SHOW OFF OUR BOAT AND SPONSOR-
SEBAGO FOOTWEAR,
AND WE WORE OUR SHOES PROUDLY,

tomorrow we only need a 84 pounder to get back in it,
should be a walk in the park since the world record is only 72 pounds!
but it was caught a thousand years ago in these same waters!!!!

hope all is well with the rest of the world,

tomorrow,
Tortuga goliath fishing with hopefully guest crew the Chases,
they got stuck in a bottle of rum in jacksonville and missed today!!!!

peace love and fishing folks...........
