This shot really conveys the physical demand of this sport. Mother Ocean has been kicking us boater's butts lately. I fished Channel Islands Saturday. It was so rough, one boat did not make it back. Their boat was ripped apart and all four anglers did not make it. I made it back with white knuckles. Keep them coming, Jack! #10035568
