congradulations to the builder and the angler. i happen to know who caught the beauty and he deserves ever pound of that fish. he also knows the best bakery and pastry shops and can get a tire back on the rim in the pouring rain.

Congrats to both the angler and manufacturer, Mr. Habs sure makes productive plugs. That would be 2 60's in three years if I am not mistaken. That jointed needle is the bomb!

When are we gonna see some pics??

I was at Nelson's B&T this weekend and I met John and the Angler and the fish is as long as he is tall and it is a beauty, and he is quit modest about the whole thing. It was great meeting you guys

Thanks John

I notice tire tracks going into the surf. Maybe launched a boat into the surf ? Was it shore caught or from a tin boat? Just curious. Either way a damn nice specimen. Paul

I don't think those are tire tracks .
They may be tail tracks!!!!!!!
