Awesome job out there Danimal! I know it's been tough for you to get out lately, but man did you take advantage of it when you got that window of opportunity! What a fantastic day. I couldn't be happier for you. Thank you for your past service big guy...this outing was well deserved.

I just knew that the text you sent me would contain a successful report & it most certainly did! Great job Dan and thank you again for your service and to land (2) legals on Veteran's Day is the best part of it all.

The Danimal strikes again!
Good job getting out on the sand to take in some surf therapy. God knows you have been doing overtime in the humanitarian aspect of your life and you really needed to get your mind off of life's struggle and take a small break. I'm glad you found your intended target. As far as the collateral damage.....it happens even to the best and most dedicated catch and release fisherman. Two fatalities in four years is a wonderful record my friend.
I'm sure the halibut dinner was delicious and just look at it this way.....it was Poseidon and Karma working together to provide you with a bonus.
Take care brotha and before I forget...
Thank you so much for all of the sacrifices you made to keep our country a better place to live.
HAPPY VETERANS DAY DAN!

P.S.

You are tied for the lead on the SWAT leaderboard with 18 legal flatties.....I'm very proud of your accomplishment sir!
