When I did the Service for Service event for the wounded warriors this year it was filmed and was on TV this week. I just found it on the internet and it shows the conditions we had to put up with in semi-sheltered waters that day.
Any one interested can view it at www.paradiselouisiana.com. There is a spot at 3 minutes into the 551 show that shows my boat while tied to a rig and we are fishing. Believe it or not as bad as it looks from the outside we were all safe in the high gunnels on the boat. The 552 show has the complete story starting at about 14 minutes and includes an interview with me and shows my catch for the day.
Just thought I would put this out if anybody is interested. CTF South in action.
Life is Good!

Fishing is not a matter of life or death. It's more important than that.

My boat was tied to a rig that day and we were in protected waters less than 3 miles from shore. I love the shot of it riding the waves in the 551 show at 3 minutes in.

Go to the www.paradiselouisiana.com site and click on the shows. the #552 will be just below it. My segment willstart at about 13 minutes into the tape. All the fish hangig are what my boat caught. The guys holding fish are what was caught on the cougar and Capt Will explains how he did. Believe me the conditions were very tough and I was honored to have a bunch of the other captains come by and personaly congratulate me on the catch I brought in.
