Need your pliers; need your nippers

[5th Tuition]

had a really good day today, a really good day. I had an experienced crew of three guys who have fished with me many many times. After almost every fish, I would hear one of them say to me "I need your pliers" or my "nippers".
WTH, I asked why none of them carries a set of "tools" on their hip. After three years as a mate, I feel half naked without them on my hip
I think I know what to get them next Christmas. No more Dr Julie Ball calendars for them
I will be headed to Tyler's Tackle for one of those "hook outs" with a "S" shaped end. It will be dropped into one of my gunnel rodholders that I don't use.

Today's fish came off both boards and boat rods. Thanks to Mark (Mlag) for working with us out there today. This is why I gave up the Charter work, to get my boat out and put fish on the deck
