45! Even with my imagination running wild the one I lost won't do that! Maybe 25. Landed maybe 10.

going out in a half hour maybe that will change :laugha: :laugha: :laugha:

Never caught one on a needle. Kind of hard when you don't fish them. Well I shouldn't say never have just been many years since I have used them. I am going to try and change that this year. Paul

50 pounder -- 50 pound lobster pot! :scream2: Darn buoy was way too close to the rocks this past weekend. I wanted to swim out and rescue my plug, but I wasn't quite dressed for it, and besides, RRC wouldn't let me. Last time I underestimate how far I can cast.
