Great photoshop of the fictional characters to support the completely made up story. I bet the flippers wish it was even more fictional.

All I saw was an upside down tandum gray kayak with a bunch of empty budwiser beers cans floating all aournd. 10 seconds later, two heads come popping-up out of the water.

both guys had a good attitude about it and told me they had a little too much to drink. They thanked me for not taking any pictures.

I felt real bad for them cause i had met them 15 minutes before they flipped and they were stoked about their 2nd Y.T. hook up.

These two are the nicest guys you could ever meet and I am sorry they lost all their gear and a large Y.T.

I don't know how it happened!

Was it that we pushed our luck with 2 full grown men + 2 fat YT in one tiny boat- no way...

Was it the 12 pack we polished off before noon?- yeah right...

A possibly foolish move to think I could turn completely around in that boat with that fish for the perfect picture?- could do it in my sleep...

Anyone going to back me up on the rogue wave that passed through Friday?

Oh well, crappy ending to an absolutely amazing day- had 3 YT on, 2 in the boat, 1 home... Bob is a kind soul to have kept that story as tame as he did (and to not have taken the ITW pics- still can't believe he resisted...)

Down, but definitely not out-

Mike
