Yo! I love dis guy!
I could spend a few entertaining hours fishin with him, might be fun to "bait" him by tossin lures and listening to his rant. Don't know about a 20 hr. soak, though.

And just remember, his Dad didn't fight in WWII so you can go stand on rocks and throw a Yo-zuri...... ;D

  If I'm soaking baits for 20 hours with nothing to show for it ?  I could rattle off many thoughts & questions that would be running through my mind.  I'd have a hard time seeing it as achieving any high level of merit or status.  However these little caveats are what makes this fella such a benchmark, unique character...

I caught my first big striper on a 3/4 ounce Kastmaster, Penn 712, 10lb test line. Threw the lure into a school of breaking bunker in a raging inlet current. Fought it a good 15 minutes from the sandy shore. 33 lbs. But, hey, what do I know.

This vid is best taken tongue in cheek, otherwise, it's sad. I laughed out loud several times.  ;D

That's worse than daytime (deep drop) Swordfishing were you can spend hours staring at the rod tip. Yes the results are worth the patience but I tried to be a fan but realized it is not for me. I definitely couldn't go 20 hours without a bite. Different strokes for different folks.
