Tommy Porter in the office talks about his days on the Hannah Bowden.
One of the great storytellers of our time.
My dream team for a reality fishing show- Tommy Porter, Tuffy, bring Carlo Moceri out of retirement, Scrobie, Pete Mondello, Pete Libro back in his crazy days, Mark and Tom Ring.
I’m 46 years old and have been down the dock since I was 9. To date there was never a better show than when we were offloading Carlo Moceri’s Morning Star. Inevitably Carlo would lose his shit and start screaming and I’d never seen anyone turn a shade of deeper red in the face than Carlo. Carlo is one of the most passionate guys you’d ever wanna meet and an awesome guy.
Good Morning Gloucester 
Depending on how irate he was, His face would go from pink to red then to a light shade of blue then to purple.

Excellent post!!! In tribute them all:
“THE CONTENTED FISHERMAN
VALUES: Appreciation for what you have
STORY: The very wealthy, hardworking owner of a large group of chain stores happened to be on his way to yet another meeting when he stopped to buy a cup of coffee at a fast food outlet next to the docks. He was a little disturbed to see an idle fisherman relaxing next to his old boat, in the middle of the day, staring out into the distance.“ Why are you not out catching fish?” he enquired of the fisherman. The fisherman replied: “I have caught enough fish for today.”
The business man was horrified and said, somewhat crossly, “Well, why don’t you go out and catch some more and with the extra money you make, you can sell this old boat and buy yourself a bigger, more modern one!”
“Then what would I do?” asked the surprised fisherman. “Then you could catch more fish, make more money and own a whole fleet of fishing boats,” said the impatient businessman. “Ok, and when I have all these boats, what would I do then?” asked the fisherman seriously. “Well, then you could sit down, relax and enjoy life,” replied the businessman. “But that’s exactly what I’m doing now!” said the fisherman, gazing contentedly out to sea.
