I’ll jump out of planes all day but there’s something about being in the ocean where I can’t see land. RIP @Chris Farley

Pat Flood (@rebarcock) passed away 9/21/25. Pat played a huge role in encouraging the devolopmemt of this site and donated the very first dollar to get it started. Check the thread at the top of the board for the obituary and please feel free to pay your respects there. I am going to get all the content from that thread over to his family so they can see how many people really cared for Pat outside of what they ever knew. Pat loved to tell stories and always wanted everyone else to tell stories. I think a great way we can honor Pat is to tell a story in his thread (also pinned at the top of the board).
Goin snapper fishing

Nothing less than a 24' and must have two engines for me to lose sight of land, also if you do get sick DO NOT go below deck.
No sir! I’ve learned how to swim I can’t fly.
Went snapper fishing last night, struck out. Damn wife.
I'll only go offshore if Im going with people who know what the hell they are doing. Also have to have all the safety equipment necessary like EPIRB. Multiple checks of the weather forecast. All that and I'll do it. But still will be a little scared in the back of my mind.
Was it unexpected seas or were you with the type of people who didn't care?
Yeah anything 3-4' seas or more and I'm out
They were unexpected we thought we would see 4 max on the trip back but that was bad intel.
I won't jump out a perfectly good airplane but when I was little shaver me and my crazy cousin took a 12' john boat offshore trolling for mackerel. I don't know how far off we went but the further we went the more fish we caught. Our parents were pissed until they saw the haul at the bottom of the boat. Different strokes for different folks.
