Andros, How I Miss Thee…

…and thy monster bonies. True story. Ye are all witnesses thereof. Yaaar. BIG WIND. BIG FISH. (life is good) from Davin Ebanks on Vimeo. From our 2009 excursion. I’m assuming that fish is a few pounds bigger now… food for thought.

I’d come to think of myself as somewhat of a badass caster over the last couple days—with some reason given the conditions we’d [...]
