Yo

[DarkSkies]

I've known Hemi for a while now, ran into him for the first time this year at the Freeport show. Here's what I said about him:

Right off the bat I met Hemi, (in)famous fisherman!
Anyone who knows this guy can't deny he's quite a character.
He's larger than life, either on the internet or when you meet him in person. Full of laughs and ball bustin jokes, if yer fishin with this guy and not having a good time laughin, then ya might just be a little too uptight.

Hemi was making bucktails for awhile.
Attachment 9832

Now his friend Steve Petri has taken over the selling part of that venture, and Hemi started making rods.

He's only been doing it awhile. The one I shot a video of wasn't finished yet, but it will be a cod rod to get in on the notable Montauk cod action.

Good luck with the rod building, dude, nice meeting ya again.

The rest of the report is in the LI Forums under Freeport show 2010.

Hemi has also gotten himself involved in some of the issues facing recreational fishermen, going to the meetings, and dealing with all that boring stuff in support of a better future for us all.

Thanks for that work, Hemi.


Hemi is also one of the craziest dudes you ever wanna meet, if you ever get a chance to fish with him.


Welcome aboard, glad you decided to stop by.
