Clue/Question:  The fishing rod and reel performed so well because they were – – –

Answer:  TOP OF THE LINE

(A moderately stinky pun.  Not like three day old fish, or anything.  I’ve never gone saltwater fishing before.  It looks like fun though.  Just lakes, streams and ponds for me.  If I ever did go out on the high seas I’d probably hook Jaws, with my luck.

No new clue words today.  Three of the jumbles appear to be new, but we’ve definitely seen “volne” before.  The answer letter layout made for a fine nine letter jumble.  Nicely cryptic.

Nice saltwater fishing scene.  It looks like he’s hooked a marlin, or a swordfish.  I’ve never eaten marlin before.  I’m not even sure if it’s edible.  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR
