Well, it appears that I take the prize for smallest boat/motor. (FishOn uses a canoe and trolling motor, but he hasn't responded). Maybe Worrall will give me one of those old, discontinued Patroits because he feels so bad for me.

You should have also asked, "How many fish did you personally boat this year?"
