JEH45

One would expect good fishin for the boys. Last weeks cold front should continue to push migratory sailfish south.

It is reported that Burger used his left hand to beat on the gator until the gator left go. Talk about walking on water. I bet Mr. Burger scooted right out of that water hazard. Fortunately, Burger wa [...]
