    My suggestion for intermission on this thread, until there is real recruiting news, is to have Wheat tell us about fishing in Florida, of which he is an expert, and to have us ask questions. Maybe someday we'll have a DBR fishing derby down there.

    I'm not sure we should head down to Boca for a fishing excursion with Wheat. He has personally guaranteed me a "special DBR" rate that, IIRC, is 2-3 times his standard rate. Plus, he did not promise that as Duke fans we would return alive.

    Now, how 'bout that Matt Jones kid?

    And did you know that The Gasparilla Inn and Club is operated by the same group that runs The Hotel California?

    Such a lovely place.

    Now, that Jones kid does look pretty impressive.

    Makes it even more enticing. That along with being threatened to be used as bait. (jk)

    Reminds me of the joke that concludes with: "Well, you may be an expert in waterskiing, but you don't know squat about baitin' 'gators!"

    Just out of curiosity, what in the world did the guy in the video think he was going to do with that little net? Haul in one of the 2 bullsharks, or save the 140# tarpon?

    Can we move this to the off topic board? I'll make a better target for whatever over there and spare the people coming to the main board for hoops info

    Yea, we all know Wheat deserves his own fishing thread () but it probably ought to be on the OTB.

    I still kinda like the video of that Matt Jones kid from the 2013 recruiting thread.

    I know I've got to do a better job staying on topic over on the hoops board...I'm easily distracted when some lead me astray...

    Anything anybody wants to fire away at for the resident UNC whipping boy, use this thread, I'm ready

    Well, after that video of the 2 sharks attacking the 140# tarpon, I'm not sure I want any part of your fishing adventures.

    Wheat - do you know Steve Huff?

    You might have seen this article already. It's about a great guide in Florida, Steve Huff. Bucket list!
