The weather made quite the turn this past week, and the guys weren’t exactly happy about it.  To be fair, they didn’t want freezing temps again, but they weren’t digging the 80’s at all.  Turns out the warm weather brought out quite the zoo: they heard and saw turkeys, pigs, wild dogs, and everything else…and of course, they talked all about it.

There was interesting stuff happening in the water, too. Did you hear about Contender, the great white spotted off-shore this week? That story spawned all kinds of talk from the guys and some callers. Sharks just have a way of gettin’ things going, don’t they?
