You'd make Bob real proud if you could catch a HOG on one of his rubbers...:rtfm: ...grab a magnifying glass and read the directions on how to work it properly.

couple wicked fun nights.

red district...Woke up in a clicky mood..the end

Here's one of our 2# test world record attempt with Fisheye in 1994. The battle lasted close to 1.5 hours. Finally, the mung built up on the line and we broke it off. Releasing a 20# class fish on the right as Fisheye looks on.

Here's the fashion plate himself sporting cutting edge technology and a decent fish. This was when super braid first came on the market. Mike showed up on the dock with it and we all said, "WTF is that stuff?" On the right, we decided to give up on the noodle rod and fish for large instead. That's Fisheye on the right in the frog suit. Pics from 1994. Nice glasses, Mike.

One from Nauset in 1982. This is my brother at 11 years old. I'm in the back casting. This was at the end of long bar where it emptied into deeper water. Its early October, you can see the white water in the back breaking on the bars. We were catching fish on 7" rebels mid day all afternoon. Second pic is from Nauset inlet in July 1995. Fish up to 42# on eels drifted with the outgoing tide.

Couple of sunset shots.One I took of Pete Kernicki "the commander" at FPR in November 1999.The second is a late afternoon canal blitz in May of 1996.My partner is bailing, and I'm shooting film.

Mike:
I'm in tears. 1996 was one of the "legend" years. Lanny, #^&#^&#^&#^&y C, Steve Voicinet, George Calzone, Stevie Mills. What fishing we had!
July 3rd we had over 100 fish between 20 and 40 at the Second Rip in 3 hours.
I am afraid those days are gone...

What to do in the winter.......

nice ken


hows the family

A few more from the cape. My brother with a 46# fish from ballston on left. My twin 46# fish on the right taken in front of the parking lot at head of the meadow on eels. Pre-seal fishing at its finest. It was mostly a matter of just being there many nights. The fish were big and around in good numbers. A lot of guys did real well. A firefighter from New York named Paul Hoercher, god rest his soul, taught us a lot of the ropes. I caught more than 50 fish over the 40# mark in a few years thanks to Paul's teachings.

Mike, these must bring back the memories. Truely awe inspiring.

holy chit Mike :shocked:

From last November - daybreak

Some bugs....A good day right, and a 6# lobster on the left. To this day I don't know how it got into my pot. Shoe horn maybe. He looks pissed.

Hes looking pretty cross eyed. You lobster to mike?

Couple of sunset shots.One I took of Pete Kernicki "the commander" at FPR in November 1999.The second is a late afternoon canal blitz in May of 1996.My partner is bailing, and I'm shooting film.

BB, I got to pm you on thsi one......Pete Kernicki. I need to pick your brain!

I believe he still fishes for one of the Western Mass or Hartford area surf clubs...

My Dad mentioned him as someone that sort of "took him under his wing".

He always said it was his big break.

My Dad mentioned him as someone that sort of "took him under his wing".

Pm'd you. Pete had a good reputation for catching as well as mentoring his fellow anglers. A real good guy. We were just hanging out at sunset B.S. ing when the photo op came up.

What a beautiful collection of photos I just saw! You all have to admit, that we are upon an era of big fish that we all thought was over and done with long ago.
Do we all really have to rally for the protection of the species or is it a reciprocal 30 year event that Stripers do so well and then Blues take over the food chain and so on and so on?
I was 12 years old when the blues came in to Narragansett Bay in numbers that where never seen before or again. The whole bay was boiling! Blues hitting the bottom of the boat woke us to see a blitz like nothing before, you where afraid to get to close to the gunwale.
Anyway, God catch guys!
JUST BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!!!

I don't know casting Z's, I'm sure man will screw it all up once again trying to play with nature :(
But enjoy it while it lasts :)

a 40 lb 48 inch canal bass on a skinjig

What a hum dinger fish! I noticed you have no spiked soles on top of those slippery rocks. How do you do it?

Thanks, felt soles are fine for the canal unless you're on rockweed, in that case you may as well sit down and slide on that crap till you get under it.

a bruce i know we got a million fish but find the pis of us i know a few times we both pulled 40lb'rs :musc:
