Hey John, I've got a pretty good feeling that a lot of those big fish were caught on the days you were "Squamed" lol

Your friend,
Salty

I use to fish Squam with me Dad back in the early 60'when I was just a youngster... I always thought something was wrong because we spent more time hung up on the bottom than fishing... know I understand why the place is an underwater rockpile !
You need an onboard tackle shop like Big John so you can replace equipment faster than you lose it...
