LONGBOAT KEY, FL: Our street crew caught up with local Vince Gibbler as he was wade fishing in New Pass. Vince heard the trout bite was “fire” from a friend so raced out after work with his gear. After 45 minutes of slinging a white paddle tail into the grass flats, experiencing the vast wonder of nature’s most breath taking display, Vince’s patience grew thin.
“These goddamn trout decide to shut down when I get out here, of course.” he let loose as the sky reamed with color gradients ranging from bright, neon orange to violet and umber hues. A sight many travel the world to see, often for just a week on their annual vacation budgets.
“I swear to fucking god, I waste 30 minutes driving out here when I could be sitting in my living room… watching tv… DRY!”
A short while later Vince managed to hook up and reel in a lady fish. The peak level of disappointment caused him to sling his pole around and march back to his truck to drive home.
