Traded a spare plug for a brand new "Big Howdy", a 2.5 oz version of the smaller Surf Howdy. Gave it a swim today. Took a while to get it back.

That's great Numby. I hope you get a few more before it's over :kewl::kewl:

I'm getting a rare second chance to fish RI again this fall. I'll be throwing some "Big Howdies" towards the end of next week.

Bernzy

Good luck Bernz...get yourself a late birthday gift!!!

George...sweet fish! Congrats! Got a weight? I am gonna guess about......20 pounds?:bounce:

27.5 on a good scale. Short but very thick. Nothing worth bragging about, just an average "good fish". Posted it more to remind people how much fun daytime fishing with topwater plugs and small rods can be, even in November. Credit to Bernzy and to you other guys who build these quality plugs. Eels in the night obviously work, but if you don't try plugs by day you are missing out on a ton of fun.

I love that plug.

Hey George, can you say," I must go to Fisher's Island next week with Flap and Eric"?

Oh, and bring that plug.:smokin:

I got that plug in yellow and just got a beauty pearl white with a red chin and eyes .. A beauty on a beauty George ,,, Congrats .. I see abu ??? calcutta 400 ?

The return of Bernzy has been prophesized....I spilled a bunch of bass bones in front of the rack where I used to keep the Howdies and they spelled out "Come back to SRI"

Bernzy.... it'll be great to have you back here. Nice plug... nice fatty. Hope I run into you when you're around. Always my pleasure.

yellow rules , especialy in the fall. nice fish George.

SWEET!

if that is just an average nothing to brag about fish, then I guess I have to set my goals higher, looks like a decent bass to me, I'd be thrilled to get a fish like that on a plug.you're being too modest.

What Slip said!!!:drool:

You guys have no idea of the quantity and quality fish Numby took (and I had to watch while he did it) this year on some of our "exploits". I don't know of many that fish harder.

I will admit a sort of sick feeling of glee when I would hear in the night him snapping off one of his creationsn though, heeheeheehee!:bl:

A fatty is right. That's a great fish IMO. Nice job!

sweet fish!

nice fat fish!!

Ditto ... The guys a machine ,, (almost said tool ) He doesn't post many pics of them .. He's posted none of the fish he caught with me .

Please guys, I wanted this to be about a great plug, a great guy (Bernzy) and fishing in November........not me. Fishing is for fun, not for comparing one's self to others.....which is a fool's folly. I'm just glad to be alive, fishing,......... and own a Big Howdy.

My Howdy's bigger 9 1/4" ... Bottom Howdy (no hooks)is a first born from a swap batch of Bernzy's many Howdys ago ...

Yup, that's a nice fat fish there. Good November work...

He does make a great plug, and I like that you compliment him about it.
but you have to admit, a lot of times it's the fisher behind that plug that gets success. I have one of those big howdy's , everyone should.

George is my idol.:) Nice FAT glad to be alive fish on a great plug
