Peeps & Pescados

An entertaining exchange between my friend Eugene and a power boater yesterday on Choke Canyon...

The dialogue covers all the bases...gentleman, Austin, s*x, the male genitalia, and even the legendary KVD...kinda in that order actually...

Yessir, we choose to fish outta these 'plastic fckn boats'

And what is 'unreal' is the fact that people like you sir, still exist...

I'll call this little sequence 'Torque'...

Didn't get the money shot, but personally enjoy these type of photos more...

Been playing with these rotomolded polyethylene contraptions well over 15 years.

Bought a few, traded a few, been given a few…fished outta them, played outta ‘em…and loaned ‘em out to friends…
Never retired one till this week…
This one was a Wilderness Systems Tarpon 160, new in 2012, long, narrow, and fast…paddle kayak, I was the motor…dinosaur in the kayak world nowadays…matter of fact the Tarpon 160 is no longer even produced by the manufacturer.

Myself and a buncha friends enjoyed lotsa of good times in this particular yak.

Given the history, a buddy suggested it would be kinda like putting a dog down…yknow, to chop it up…kinda, but not really…it was a tool, a plastic tool I used, and some would say abused…I admit it, I cut no slack with my tools…

Thanks for the memories my 2012 sand colored Tarpon 160, you provided lotsa smiles, a buncha memories…

It was a good run…
