What would John Herzer want to do for his birthday?  Duh.  Drive two hours, eat a few advil, and throw streamers for eight hours… straight.  He caught a few “presents” throughout the day, but no doubt his best gift was the last one he “opened.”   One could sense the child like disappointment of not getting the “two-footer” he was begging for.   Much like Ralphie in the Christmas Story, John’s red rider b-b gun with a compass in the stock and this thing which tells time, would come long after all the gifts were opened (and released), in sight of the take out, on the final cast. (If you ask me it had a lot to do with boat positioning… ahem)

Happy Birthday Wind Knot!
