Blog Post on Somewhere I Would Like to Go in the US

     It might sound crazy, but I want to go offshore of Hatteras North Carolina to the Canyons in December.  Why?  The bluefin tuna fishing is amazing at this time of year.  It might cold or snowy, but I'm not much of a sight seeing person, unless there is a goal in mind.  The bluefin are know to be caught up to and over 1,000 pounds here at this time of year.  They call these the giant bluefin tuna.  They are caught all of the time at hundreds of pounds.  On the Dan's Legacy we are always trying to catch bigger and different fish.  We would trailer my boat down to Hatteras, along with any gear, tackle, or clothes that we would need.  When fishing and being outside all day I need a lot of different types of clothes, depending on the weather.  Even if it is a warm day you will need some very warm clothes in the morning, which in December it can freezing with possible snow.  So I would bring a little bit of everything; shorts, short sleeve, jeans, sweatshirt, coat, hat, gloves, and my warm and dry foul weather gear.  One of the most important things that I need to have is my Costa Del Mar sunglasses, which help my eyes, help me find fish, and help me see fish.  We would also need to bring a lot of money for food, drinks, bait, gas, and any last minute things that we would need to buy.  When going fishing like this it is important to have everything and be prepared.  The biggest fish I have ever caught is a 125lb mako shark.  I am always looking to make that biggest fish bigger.    

The picture is my friend Nate, the 125lb mako, and I.

Into the Wild Preliminary Summary

Into the wild is a book about a writer who finds the body of a young man in an abandoned bus.    He found that there was a journal with him.  How he died is unknown, but there are theories.  His journal told his adventure in detail.  The two years after he graduated from college he spent wandering in the wilderness while eating wild plants and shooting game for food.  This writer that found him traveled the root that the dead man took. He then wrote an article about it.  The book is an extension of the article.  They have even made a movie that they adapted about it.
