Congrats on jumping to the top of the SWAT leaderboard for the most legal halibut in 2014!

Wow, amazing way to end the year! Nice work!

Thanx xichad,

I've put in a lot of time and miles ... and I would fish 2 to 3 AO's per day looking for my targeted species.

My final reward was well received. Thank you Poseidon!

Happy New Year full of heavy tugs and line rips!

It was my patience and determination that finally paid off. The 27.5" Halibut was the cherry on top!

Happy New Year

SP Dan



Gre8t finish sir. Solid fish to end the year! May this new year bring you lots more tugs. Mikey

Hi ya Mikey,

I couldn't have been more pleased ... the results of the last day of the season was an absolute blessing indeed!
It was starting to look a bit sketchy and I was starting to have my doubts ... but my determination prevailed in the end!

Happy New Year

Hi ya Roberto,

Thank you for all of your kind words Sir!
Poseidon was exceptionally kind to me this year with surf bound Striped Bass and a bounty of legal Halibut.

My goal this year is to get one new PB in each of my previously caught species. I'll see how this one goes!

Well .... I'm already starting the 2015 Season off with (2) legal Hali's and (1) lost LC!

Happy New Year

SP Dan

[SP Dan]

Hi ya Lieutenant Bones,

Great job brother Dan! That was a great race to the finish line all hail the victor!!!

Kelly

Hi ya Brotha remington,

I appreciate the Congrat's and all ... but the final Leader Board count has not come down from the SWAT Central Command yet!
I will have to wait for the final results like everyone else. Nail chewing!

Like they say .... you are not supposed to count all your peaches until they are all laying on the ground and all fuzzed up! :ROFL: Ha ha ha!

I hope that you and all of your loved ones also have a very healthy and prosperous New Year!

SP Dan ~~~~~ <"))><

Love you brother!

Ken

Hi ya Brotha Ken,

I haven't seen the final SWAT Leader Board count from the SWAT Central Command yet.

I was always rooting for you to win the most legal Halibut category! I believe that "Congrat's" is due to you on winning the "Largest" in the Halibut Category!

I hope that many blessings and opportunities will find their way to you and your loved ones in 2015!

Happy New Year Brotha!

SP Dan ~~~~~ <"))><

[Which Way Out]

Hi ya Lieutenant Bones,

:LOL:Ha ha ha! :ROFL: Torpedo man!
They were thick and persistent to say the least!

Thank you for your never ending support and friendship through out the seasons!

Happy New Year

SP Dan

Better to be Torpedo man than, TP man I would think.:LOL:

What a great year again. Congrats on the Sportsman award. You, more than anyone deserves it.:Applause:
Be safe and the best to you and Rhonda.

WWO

[SP Dan]

Hi ya Brotha Bill,

I hope that that nick name "Torpedo Man" doesn't stick ... like "Colonel Croaker" did with Don! .... Oh man! :ROFL: Ha ha ha!

As far as the "Outstanding Sportsmanship Trophy" goes ... I would like to share that particular honor with all of my SWAT Brotha's N' Sista because all of you definitely deserve the Sportsmanship trophy every bit as much as I if not more!

Thanx for chiming in WWO! :Thumbs Up:

Give a BIG hug to your gorgeous bride Noriko from Rhonda and yours truly.

Dan, I'll always love reading your reports! :Cool:

You had an awesome 2014 fish count and I'm sure that with the energy and effort you put forth every time you hit the water 2015 will be even better!

Good Luck and tight lines My Friend and thank you for the encouraging texts the past few months. They meant a lot to me. :Thumbs Up:

Hi Ya PONTOON,

So good to hear from you my friend.

I hope things are looking much brighter these days Terry. Heck ... I hope that for everyone out there! :Thumbs Up:

These days have been a bit testing and up-side-down to say the least for Rhonda and I ... but we will manage our way through it together.

You are always in my thoughts and in my prayers ... my friend.

Until we get our feet all salty together .... take care Brotha, tight lines ... and please stay in touch. :Cool:
