A nearby photo shows an exhausted Goeggel, forcing a weak smile, nearly as dead as the big fish suspended next to him. It's not the only trophy up there, either. Ask Goeggel about the wall of fish only if you've got time to burn. He'll tell you more than you want to know.
Fishermen are like that.
It's been a few years since Goeggel last bopped about the Pacific. Money's been tight, and there hasn't been much time. There have been so many things going on in the last few years, it's just not been practical to even consider going. Lately Goeggel's been casting his line in St. Louis and, it turns out, has just hooked the biggest fish of his life. The owner of the largest private, for-profit ambulance company in St. Louis appears to have caught his longtime nemesis, Abbott Ambulance Services.
