Captain Crudd Fishing Shirts

My brother Kurt loves to fish, and like most fisherman, he is superstitious; so he always wears his "Captain Crudd Good Luck Fishing Shirt" to insure that the fish will be biting. He's owned two of these since his 20's ... one that is a light blue for Salt Water fishing, and one white for Fresh water fishing. After over a decade of use, they are looking a bit ratty/smelly, but as Captain Crudd says "I ain't ever met a well-dressed, sweet-smelling fisherman worth his salt yet!"

My family had surprised me on my 40th birthday when they all showed up and we hiked Longs Peak, Colorado ... so turnabout was fair play a few years later for Kurt - aka Captain Crudd! ;-)

So we surprised him on a Seward Alaska fishing charter and as part of that, my Mom was able to track down some Captain Crudd fishing shirts at Pike Place Market. We wore these underneath other shirts until halfway through the day ... and then when he was busy fishing, all whipped 'em off and waited until he noticed. He finally noticed his wife Mary and said "Hey Mary, you are wearing my white Captain Crudd shirt ... HEY, that's a NEW Captain Crudd shirt ... HEY, all you guys are wearing Captain Crudd shirts!"

Needless to say, it was a big hit ... and only one of the many pranks we played on him that weekend. And while Kurt did a nice jog helping us fish for silver salmon, halibut, ling cod, and yellow eye rockfish, be sure to scroll down to see how good a beer drinker Captain Crudd is! ;-)
