KAAAABOOOOOOM!!! Who needs eels?

Congrats Don thats one hell of a fish.

So I take it the fishing was good out there?

We all know who MADE the plug............
What color was it, Don :cool:?

WELL DONE, Big D!!
:jump:

Way to go!
great stuff :)

thanks guys. my plug of course 3.25 oz white w/orange throat. it was my biggest surf caught to date. gotta give an assist to Tlapinski for weighing her, taking pic, and helping with the release in real rough stuff. i wanna go back........now.

Always liked that plug...............
Casts like a missle, just never got it in that color, Dadgummit:bl:!

Am still hopeful with the fatboy slider in herring.
Some gray dawn, appearing in the surf close to you...................WHAM!!
That puppy will be pounced upon, the hooks will be set, and SHE will be Miiiiine, the COW of my dreams; oh, YES, she will be mine!!!

Don. Nice catch . Toby called with the news.Hope you guys keep the fish close for us. We be there Thurs.

excellent!!!!

Very nice! What an awesome feeling that must be to start with a rough block of wood, craft it into a piece of art and produce a huge fish like that. Great job, end to end!

nice way to go,great fish,great plug, great island gets no better than that.

congrats, gotta get a couple new pencils from ya.

nice fish. thanks for helping out dropper #^&#^&#^&#^& with his fish. back is getting slowly better. stay away from the rabbits. there will be a double order of serlion tips next year.

Nice fish Don. congrats.

sweet fish on a plug!! :cheers:

Congrats Don. I'm sure it's incredibly rewarding to do that with your own plug.

congrats Don nice fish. Im predicting a 50 soon.

Always liked orange, way to go Don.

Good going Don!!! Nice release too. You should carry your own camera, you need PR shots of your stuff anyway...don't you? :rollem:

Hopefully we can swim some wood together in a couple weeks.

I think our crew had 5 fish in the high 35-39lb range over there, in the last few days.
