I think I might know why David dropped his rod. He probably gave 'Gomez' a slap on the back for catching that nice fish, which happened to put a big greasy oil slick in the palm of his hand. Gomez doesn't bathe very often, and when he does, he never gets it all off. Check your boat for oily foot prints from Gomez, unless of coarse he was wearing his landscaping work-boots. Oh, and that strange figure-eight you saw was actually a figure-quatro, as Gomez is only 1/2 as good a fisherman as he is a lawn mower.

Skippy

(Can't believe C-David dropped his rod...must have been the Capt'n)
