Dana Point Hoopin' 3/2

Every pull was 2-3 bugs.

50 bugs later (about 10 of them no bigger than my hand!) I was about to bring em in at around 3:45 then the harbor patrol came out and recommended that I not be out there, perhaps I should have listened to them but Why didn't they stop me from going out in the first place or when the waves were ACTUALLY dangerous. It was dying down at that point. They also told me I was fishing to close to the mouth of the harbor, I should have just called it a bight at this point but decided to move them all to the outer buoy line.

Just as I dropped my last hoop, the wind gusted REALLY hard! Come to find out it wasn't the wind blowing ME it was a wave carrying me with it just before it turned me over and swamped me, That's when I knew I had made a bad decision to stay.

Well, that just plain sucked, all along with no one to help but I managed to right the yak and just hung on it for a minute.... then the next wave came. Shit.

Got back on and paddled my ass outta that region. Grabbed all of my hoops and limped home. Went to Jack in the Box and ordered like 10 tacos and drove home and thanked the man above for saving me.

Interesting night, Next time I'll keep check the reports or go out with a buddy, sure am glad I'm telling the story and not part of the 10 o'clock news.

With all due respect........Had you typed this up as edited above or typed something similar and made it so that others would learn from your mistakes, or experience, instead of saying look at me! Look at me! you wouldn't have received the negative comments that you Did. Sure you survived, I'm glad you Did and I'm sure that everyone else is especially those who love you and need you but telling everyone to back off because you're a bad ass or a marine shows a certain level of irresponsibility. Again, I say this with all due respect to you but sometimes you have to know right from wrong, just because you're a bad ass doesn't mean you should live on the edge.

Are we married? LOL You sure sound like it. Nagging me AND rewording what I say so you can hear yourself say it. Classic good stuff right there.

Never had a problem about the "negative" nature of the posts.... Forums come complete with them... it's expected. Only had a problem with name calling is all.

But thanks for letting me know how to be PC and telling me how I should talk to get a result only YOU care about.

Good stuff!

Oh... and I wasn't a Marine.... Those guys are Nuckin' Futs! I'm honored by the assumption though.

LMAO!! Good!

Nah... those guys actually kick ass. I'm just a badass. There's a difference.

Are you frickin' kidding me? LOL Just so I don't get ANOTHER hate PM on this subject... I do not actually THINK I'm a badass. Someone called me a badass in another post. So therefore, I officially don't THINK I'm a badass.

But... because someone posted it, I actually KNOW I'm a badass.

Any other lame PM's will be ignored. Can't wait to meet you all at a tournament or group event! Soon! It's gonna be fun! If I even get invited! LOL You guys are a mental trip! Love it!

Sigh.... so now... I'm a jackass. Wow. I've racked up four new derogatory names in one thread. Over a Hoopin' story. Over me defending my actions against ignorant comments.

Nice.

Ignorant comments? Listen to yourself sometime........
