How much line did you get on that reel Randy? Enough to hit bottom at Woods Hole?

Well, as luck would have it, our fishing day was a BUST, winds at 35 mph, gusts to 41, seas 12-13 feet at 9 seconds, so I called Randy Pauley to join us for lunch at our own Fred's-Acclaimed Taco Temple, and he obliged.
