It is nothing but a 3/8" SS washer with a slot cut into it. I use it when forming eyes and attaching hooks, swivels and lures to heavy single strand wire. [/B]<o

Are you the same Capt. Ken who used to have the web site whopperstopper?

captken · 01-05-2009, 07:14 PM

Yep, that was my charterboat website and general website too. Long time ago.

I need to get out more... Please accept my very belated

to the PFF board...

Capt. Ken - I was on that board with you prior to it's "changing". I wasn't able to make any of the bashes, but really wish I had. Nice to re-connect. Do you still run the same boat? I thought I recalled seeing it for sale some time ago. Also, sorry to high-jack your thread!

The old Whopperstopper board went through several name changes and is now bigbendsportsman.com The core group of members changes as people enter and leave but there are a whole lot of the original members there. There are some really fine folks and good fishermen too.

After a bunch of years of running the show, I kinda got tired of it and now log on about 1-2 times per week.

I sold my boat and now fish out of my yak or a 16' Aluminum boat. Now days I'd rather fish out of the yak.
