Harry Krause Gaffs Bayliner (Pix !!)

Question:

AP – Jacksonville, Fla. – Local fisherman and boaters in general across the USA were in disbelief at what the self described writer and amateur political observer Harry Krause did today. Apparently, while fishing 25 miles offshore in about 135 feet of water, Mr. Krause hooked and successfully managed to gaff a Bayliner Trophy boat, which he proudly displayed.

<snipped When asked what he did with the boat after gaffing it Mr. Krause replied, "The remains went overboard. Sad. But not a scrap was wasted, because it’s all junk anyway." .

Can some one post this famous pix to a web page for those of us whose servers don’t accept binaries. Thanks, Bill — Opinions expressed are mine not necessarily my employers. All other standard disclaimers apply! Remove nospam. To email reply.

HARRY !!!! "URGENT" Please Warn all Bayliner owners of the eminent danger They are placing their boats in!! The Barracuda that attacked the B’Liner trophy you reeled in was "not" a random attack!! Research has shown that B’Liners look / smell like Mackerel to Barracuda’s and every B’Liner especially, Trophy’s, are in "GRAVE" danger of such an attack. You know how razor sharp their teeth are, and could easily shred a B’Liner hull in seconds. And with poor flotation (if any) that also places the boaters in danger as well, and you know what the main course for the barracuda will be? "ULP" (especially if they are wearing shiny jewellery). BTW, you said the Trophy put up a good fight, using medium tackle and 8 lb. test line. Shouldn’t you have been able to pull it in with ease on an ultra-lite rig and 2lb. test? Or were you afraid the 2 oz. Pyramid sinker on your line plus, the Trophy may have been a tad too heavy for ultra-lite tackle? Please let me know as I plan on a Trophy fishing trip this week, and want to bring the proper tackle. Thanks Harry. ALFENEW

Triple purpose?? Maybe float a couple of six packs in with the cold gas & fish? Just one question. Doesn’t the gasoline leave the fish with a bit of after taste?

Not if you ignite it. I like smoked fish.

This is hilarious, Roger. Damned gaff went in one side and out the other.

Wonder if the hull flexed when he gaffed her? — Skipper

Response:

Very funny. Great post, Roger. And a tip of the hat to Harry for not only providing the raw material but for taking the gaffe (no pun intended) with such good humor. This is really hilarious and very creative. Thanks for the chuckle. Hawk Autoreply address is incorrect.

Apparently, while fishing 25 miles offshore in about 135 feet of water, Mr. Krause hooked and successfully managed to gaff a Bayliner Trophy boat, which he proudly displayed. Some boaters who are acquainted with the intense dislike Mr. Krause has for Bayliner brand boats were nevertheless surprised by this latest escapade of his, but felt it was in keeping with his pattern of bashing Bayliner brand boats and verbally abusing owners of the boats. "Look, whenever the word Bayliner is mentioned, Harry has to put his two cents in. It’s like a compulsion, an obsessive disorder he has" said one boater. Many boaters, and several boating organizations, spoke out against the gaffing of the Bayliner, but the feisty Mr. Krause was quoted as saying, "If you want to look, go ahead. If you don’t, don’t. The Bayliner in the photo with me is one of Florida’s famous purposebuilt Bayliner Trophys. No, I don’t normally gaff Bayliner boats; but this one was had thinner than usual hulls, and no hardware on the side you don’t see." When asked whether he intended to continue going after Bayliner brand boats, Mr. Krause replied, "I am not now nor have I ever been "after" Bayliners", but many who know him say that just the opposite is true. When asked what he did with the boat after gaffing it Mr. Krause replied, "The remains went overboard. Sad. But not a scrap was wasted, because it’s all junk anyway." .
