You betcha, if he had bought a boat for real fishing, it would have been the most expensive with all the neat options, not a 14ft aluminum boat, not his style,

EXCELLENT point!!!

I don't know too many fishermen who go fishing alone unless it is close by in the local streams or ponds etc..i.e., close to home. I'm curious as to whether he had fished there before. We are creatures of habit.
