The Captains Cup

Today is the day when all reputations are up for grabs, the captains cup is for the best overall seaman. The only 2 facing off for the grand title will be Kevin and Terry as Wadda and Paul could not compete at this level. Today on the Kerry D the charter boat being used for this event will the world renowned motivational speaker and fishing expert Mr John Coutis. For those of you who have not heard of this person i shall shed some light on his story, John was born with Spina bifita and choose to have his legs removed at 18 years of age and now travels the world giving motivational speeches. His speeches will be lost on these 2 combatants today as they battle for the bragging rights , we arrange to take this skateboard riding judge to the boat ramp . The judge is positioned with a commanding view of the battle ground at the front of the boat in the blazing sun, as we head out into the war zone .About7 kms off shore it's rods away and it's not long before we are all hauling fish over the side. As the judge bakes in the hot morning sunshine captive to his position the fish just keep coming over the side, morning tea is called . Whilst  the judge is slowly roasting away Kev has grabbed a big lead in this head to head battle , and when Kevin hauls another huge fish on board Terry hoists the white flag . Bragging rights have been retained by the current champion ,while the judge continues to suffer in the sweltering sun we head home. After thanking the ever helpful crew of the Kerry Dee we launch the judge into the back of the Ford and return him to where there was some shade, he was ever so grateful. We strike a deal with the pub next door to prepare a fish and chip lunch over looking the water ,with our new found mate sitting at the head of the table actually on the table we had a very long lunch. As he spoke of the many famous people who he had dealt with throughout his worldwide travels I'm sure that there are 4 blokes from down south who just joined this list. Again J.C the very short time our paths crossed will be remembered forever........WADDA
