It was worth it. Was throwing a metal spoon at the tail end of a peanut bunker blitz when this big girl went airborn after inhaling it. Good battle with 15# test mono. Glad she headed out of the cove I was fishing instead of into the boulder feild. 42 inches and 24 pounds. I love this time of year! :hihi: :hihi: :hihi:

Great fish Spin!:happy:

Nice timing, hmm looks like a restaraunt kitchen. Fillet, cook and eat.

NICE FISH Spinn!!
Yeah, what's up with the kitchen? did you sell it to a restuarant or something?

Sweet Fish.......Man I gotta get out there....haven't really fished in 2 weeks

If the boss won't accept that as a good excuse to be late, don't know what would, nice job.

Nice fish!

:drool: :cheers:

Nice catched!

that fish doent look at home in that kitchen . hope it tasted good

Nice fish Spin... :btu:

nice fish //great way to catch it ><><><<:lasso:

A 42 inch bass should weigh at least 30 pounds and 20 years ago would have weighed in the mid to high 30's. The fact that it weighed only 24 pounds is further evidence that we have a serious baitfish problem. In my opinion, New England stripers are underfed and have been so for the past 5 years.

I'm glad you caught a decent fish on light line. Years ago the same fish probably would have broken 15# test line.

NICE!

nice fish spin....way to get em

Yeah, that's the kitchen in the Nursing Home I manage. Gave her away to one of my staff.

I thought she was a little light for a fall fish but as has been discussed here many times, fish of that size can vary greatly in weight, really just depends on what it recently ate. I disagree about the light line thing as it all depends on how well you can play the fish. With enough line spooled up and the ability to rock-hop a bit, someone could land a much bigger fish. IMHO

nice fish spin!

glad you could get through the blue infestation right now.

he can be late for work
he runs the joint... lol

nicely done Spincognito

thanks folks...
went back tonight and it was a repeat scene! Mega-blitz with lotsa big fish in the mix. Caught every size from 10 inches up to 38".
Hope the big swell does not kill it the next few days.
