well, all the sleepless and fishless nights have finally paid off. I shattered my personal best this weekend with this 33 pound beauty. The fish went 41 inches and fat, but I was still shocked when the scale at surfland read 33 pounds.
here's the surfland pic, which made the fish look bigger than it was:

Way to go! Nice to see a fat one. Only skinny fish seem to eat my plugs. What'd you get it on?

thanks guys, fish was caught on an eel. I know it's not like some of the monsters caught by some of you guys, but my PB before this was like 18 pounds! so I would have been happy just to break 20! so this was unreal!
