I think those days are gone now, I just cant take long days in the boat anymore. some days I can do 3 to5 hours other days I can do 8 hours. its not fair to invite someone out and have to quit after only a couple of hours later. the friends I go with understand and will take me to the dock when I ask. I haven't been able to take the boat alone for about 7 or 8 years and I have retired from fishing tourneys this year. I wanted to do Nate's tourney this year but my grand son and grand daughter are graduating this week end so I just retired
