i do NOT want this story shared with anyone UNLESS the family ok's it first!

charlie & i met working at PSFS when we were both very young men. i was a avid fisherman & somehow charlie  picked up on it. he said he had been fishing several times & had never caught anything. i said i'll take you fishing & i promise you'll catch plenty of fish. at the time my pregant wife & myself were renovating an about to be comdemded house. i said something about having to replace the whole back porch. charlie says hey i might be able to get you some boards. i said great. he was to be at my house a 6am for our fishing trip. well, 6am came & went & no charlie. finally about 6:30 i see charlie coming down the street. he had a big old car as i remember & sticking about a foot & a half out the side window are at least 50 brand new porch boards. first words out of his mouth were. sorry i'm late but those darn people had steel straps around the lumber & i had to go back to the house to get a hack saw. unknow to me charlie had a new housing developement near his home. well we unloaded the wood & we were off to LBI. i had a 12' boat & we launched from the causeway. i bought a pound of squid which came in a white paper box. we started catching blowfish as soon as we anchored & charlie was excited as  an 8 year old. we caught over 100 fish before running out of bait. charlie said now what do we do ? i said watch. i took a knife & cut the box up in strips & we caught the fish on them. he couldn't believe it. he was so happy. he talked about that day many times over the next 30 years & we always got a great laught out of the story.
