Y'think? How about we all run 25 miles off the coast in a 20 footer and try to hook some marlin? Never mind the MF-er don't fit in the damned boat. About as brilliant as the "Hurricane party". I like the buttheads that chase tornadoes too, btw.

We had a guy in a 16 foot boat go 60 miles offshore to fish for albacore tuna, with only a cell phone for communication!
