    My co-worker got me hook on the show these last two years and i think it is great. We both hope Phil is doing better. I know the area of which they go fishing as i was station out at shemya on the end of the alleution islands. I know the weather is very rough out there. Again we both hope Phil will be getting better and back out there soon.
