   I remember meeting Morten in Ascension Island back in 2017 and going aboard his boat for dinner one evening. While we were there he caught and released a grander right next to us; it was a sight to see. Great man with a great story and a great attitude. Attached is a pic from his computer the night of his big catch.

   It takes back for stand up fishing like this.
   I did enjoy working fish this way vs strapped in a chair and cranking some in.
   
   Of course that is when I still had a back to lean on.
   Getting old sux,,,,

   That is a BIG fish, and I don't think my back would stand up to it either !
