What's the difference between the Pinewood and Soap Box? Brother and I ran Soap Box once.

Let it not be said that I don't follow orders...

1 Cobia - largest fish on the boat today, 38" and around 30 pounds, 1 Trigger Fish, and 5 Vermillion Snapper.

The old fella next to me wasn't doing so well... so after I had my 5 snapper I started handing him my fishing rod any time I had a fish on. 😇 Once he had enough I went back to it and got the Cobia. 😁 Caught it on a small piece of cut bait and a small hook.

First trigger fish I have caught that was big enough to keep. The Cobia have to be 36" to keep and the entire boat can only keep TWO. Very blessed day today... 🙏 🙏

It went how I expected it to go. The boy complained that I did too much of the work last year. He won some trophies last year tho.

This year he had grand plans but waited until 10 days before the day to ask me to cut it for him. In the meantime we missed the two open house nights at the woodshop where we could've used the tools to do the things. I did what I could with the tools I have and he did the rest. I cut it, I poured the lead. He painted and assembled. Which really is the way it should be but he got crushed by the competition. He's bummed, I knew this would be the outcome. He didn't even want me putting the graphite powder on the axles because that's cheating, so he learned a lesson. His best time was a 3.24 and the overall best was 2.906. Best in his grade was 3.0x but top three were 3.1x and under.

Losing sucks. It's like going fishing and not catching anything. Sure, it's better than work and you share beers and cigars with friends... but that's just putting lipstick on a pig. The whole point is to catch fish or win a prize if competing. 🌫
