I had the luck to get invited to go for my forst time a few years back. Handgrabbing is one of the most fun things I've ever done. I loved it. The old guy that took me told me I was a natural. Several of the people he brought in years ago were with us too. The stick man has like 25+ years and the old guy had been doing it for over 50 years. At the end of the day we had over 300 pounds of flatties.
