. Everyone knows about your legendary "friendliness" while involved in fishing.
Its been said that if you are fishing in the wee hours of night and walk past Dark a simple hello is never enough.
Having been the Most Congenial Surfcaster for 4 years straight, 2013 looks like a lock for him.
When surfcasters confront another surfcaster for mugging and are about to go medieval on their *ss , Dark is the calming voice out there. Its his calm demeanor that separates him from all the crazies out there.
And talk about jetty fishing...no one out there fishing jettys enjoys company as much as Dark. Walk past a jetty Dark is fishing form at night and you are bound to hear a voice from the dark, "hey you crony, lots of room out here on this jetty".
My own story was when I first met Dark, getting ready to fish, 1:00 AM. As I was walking by him (he was also getting ready to fish) he said hello and kindly introduced himself
.
Good luck in 2013 (Going for 5 years straight!!!!)
This not fishing is driving me nuts.
