Don't want to know or document in print. :lol: I did invest in the fish bag that you recommended after that big red popped the top on my hard cooler as he broke for freedom. Plan on seeing how easy the bag is to clean this weekend, just hope Suber's fish have not also been trained to open zippers!! :oops: :lol:

Slime it up good. It cleans easily. Don't worry about suber's fish and zippers. He cuts their thumbs off at the same time he marks them. :D

My kayak, seat, trolley and anchor were a birthday gift so I guess that's $0. I added a $120 paddle, $10 waterproof box, $5 whistle, $10 dive flag and $60 life vest bringing the cost up to just over $200. I think one of my kids stole the milk crate during their college years. Let's not talk about what I spent on the rods/reels, tackle, cameras, net, fish grips, aluminum fish ruler, beer, cigars, dry bag, prescription dive mask or soft-side cooler. Or the rack system I built to haul two kayaks around on top of the bed cover of my truck. And let's really not talk about the going price for the Llewellin Setter that sometimes sits on the floor in front of me. So there it is, $205! That's my story and I'm sticking to it.

My wife keeps telling me my yak will cost me: 1/2 of everything I own. What do you think she means??

I think she's offering you more time to fish. Seems mighty thoughtful of her!

I was under the impression that happiness was priceless? Hunting a fishing gear falls into that category... :wink:
