"You know this was a good idea buddy. I don't know why the fuck we didn't think to do this years ago." Gene shouted running to the ship's bow and lifting himself up on the railing. He loved the feeling of the crisp sea breeze beating against his face and rifling through his short reddish brown hair.
Lance turned his attention from his fishing rod for a moment to look at his shirtless friend. "I've been telling you we should have done this for a while. It's not my fault you kept coming up with excuses is it?"
Gene sighed and turned around. "I suppose not. Go ahead tell me you told me so; get it out of your system." Gene shrugged dramatically. "It's not like I wouldn't be in the middle of giving you a long speech about how I'm always right and you're always wrong right now if the circumstances were just a little different."
"Maybe later for the moment I'm just going to enjoy the sea breeze, drink my beer and hope to set the world record for biggest yellow fin tuna ever caught. We're only about fifty miles from where the record was set you know?" Lance emptied his beer and tossed the empty can into the bag.
"Yeah, you've been after a record setting fish since we were what? Like nine? Have you ever even gotten close to a record?" Gene teased.
Lance set his rod into the harness and stood up getting a beer. "Actually I would be tied for the tenth largest catfish caught in Big Bear except they don't count ties. The guy who set the record holds it until someone beats him." Lance answered before tossing a beer to his friend.
Gene caught the beer. "Well isn't that special." He feigned a smile and sank down to his ass glancing over his shoulder for a moment. "Don't you need to actually be near the rod encase something bites?"
