With all the Canal action earlier in the week did anybody weigh in for the team?

i believe redlite did- mid 30's.

sounds like it's gonna be up to us NShorians,

AGAIN,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

to help S-B to hoist The Cup as repeat winners!!!!

:soon: :soon: WON'T BE LONG, NOW :soon: :soon:

after this week of killer heat, that should move some
Big Gurls outta The Ditch and into some of our HHoles
:bl: :bl: :bl:

still feels early to me.................
there have been some impressive weights
to be hung out there, shore hope they find "MY" spot.

At least 4 30# plus fish weighed in for S-B that I know of first hand.:btu:

Go Franklin

This was a great week to catch my second horrible stomach virus of the year. :yak4::yak4:Started Tuesday night and finally was back to normal yesterday. Did I miss anything down there?:hihi:I am glad S-B had some sharpies on the scene. I was dying to get down there.

Yeah the place was littered with S-B "Sharpies...:rollem:....there were "dullies", "newbies", even S-B "Googans"! Heck, even "King Canal Googan" was down there......I shaved my beard off so folks would not recognize me!:jester:

Go Franklin

Team Franklin did some damage this past week...

There was a lot of damage done by many. Should be interesting when everything pans out. My highlight for the week was a foul hooked bass that went around 20 pounds. Took me forever to get it in and I was thinking it was a real good fish. Had it hooked in the dorsal. To prove to my buddies it wasn't %$%$%$%$ luck, on the very next cast I hooked another fish in the dorsal. It turned out to be a 3" choggie.

did you walk it down 3 pole lengths? :hihi:

Was there early Friday morning and had all kinds of fun! Saw a bunch of S-Bers, talked to a few but it is amazing to see that many people out fishing and not working....I bet a lot of sick days were used last week. I actually planned on taking this day off a few weeks ago and things worked out well.

Mike I was very impressed with your deft skills and ability to snag that choggie. You my friend epitomize the word "sharpie". S-B did some work last week for sure. :btu:

Its extra special to expereince things like that when in good company.
Here's another interesting catch. You'd think with half a tail this fish would have come straight in. It fought like hell though.

Mikes big snag

just shy of 30# on a pencil....

Nice kid!

You forgot the %$%$%$%$ing battle. The battle always comes first.

Back Beach takes a mean pic. :cheers: here's another fish around 25#s, same day. the sight and sound of this fish exploding on the plug is something that will forever be imbedded in my memory...

It was a nasty strike. My hearing hasn't recovered from it yet.

Cool thing about last week is even with the good fishing there are a lot of non catching things that will be remembered in addition to the action.

Slap those fish on the ass and tell them they forgot to stop in 'Gansett!!!

Bart/Mike, that release is one of the coolest fishing pics I have seen. Nice work guys.

thanks brotha, but it was all Mike though. he could've been fishing, but was nice enough to take the time to make sure he got a great shot. :kewl:

Mike stop being so modest and post some of your fish.

Here's my fish. Sunday AM I took a nice fish that went about 28#. As I sometimes do, I took the fish home for the crew at work. Our new executive chef was fired up about the fish. This afternoon as I was doing my rounds he popped into my office and left this for me. All I can say is WOW.

oh my god that is awesome! I need to work at a place like that!!

sheeeeesh are you guys gonna let any of the bigger fish make it through the canal? no wonder it's slow up here, none are making it through that death trap! :walk: great catches

oh my god that is awesome! I need to work at a place like that!!

Man your not kidding,that's a mean looking dish,Mike I'll be there for lunch Monday @ 1300

Heres my big catch from last week. This one was 49" 40lbs. That was a long bike ride back to the truck.. I also picked a 46" 34lbs and piles of fish between 20-30lbs. Great week. Finally recovering this week on sleep.

Sweet

Great catch. Only a handful of confirmed 40's taken last week even with all the good fish that were around. Nice going.

beautiful looking fish you guys!

wow a bunch of great fish guys, and great pics as well.

Nice productive fishing you where one of the few who had confirmed forty's,great job you must be stoaked!

BTW what team did you weigh them in for....If any.

Bob

I did not weigh them in for any team unfortunately. Last year on the same set of tides, June 2nd, I landed a 47" 40 lber on a yellow polaris popper. This year, June 4th, I landed this big girl on a mackeral pencil popper. Its been an amazing two years for me to land 2 40lber in the Canal on top water. I wasn't expecting to do it again. I must have got lucky:hf1:

that's awesome, good going:btu:

I was there this am could see them busting but couldn't reach them talk about a frustrating experience

Those sets of tides, new moon June, have produced many fish for many people for many years. I have been fishing the canal for 20 plus years with plugs and have never gotten a 40 not even a 35 lber on top. Got close last week. Great job and luck counts.
