Well, if we had the N. Shore Leg today there would have been some better stories for next years event. Finally managed to be in the right spot at the right time tonight and found the spike macs pushed up against the rocks in a "rocky N. Shore spot". Both Kebin(JackK) and I landed personal bests from shore with his being a real slob of a fish coming in at 40#. Mine also bottomed out the 30# boga and I am gonna guuestimate 34, may 35#. Both fish hit redfins, mine is basically destroyed from the battle with snapped and bent out trebles.

Not sure when I am gonna stop smiling. Nice job Kev!

I've got a couple. Like I said, a day early :buds:

Any time you can catch fish in shorts I'm especially content. Although I will admit I was soaked enough that I was basically wetsuiting...

Cape ann really is a wild place.

Both fish hit redfins....

Nice catch. Amazing what a 7 dollar plug can produce. They should be in every surfcasters bag.

Disclaimer: Not that my fish was eligible for an entry into any competition, but I am not a member of any team, I do not catch contest-worthy fish often. That fish accidently ran into my lure...


Thanks for all the kudos, smile is starting to wear off, time to go for a 40.... :soon:

They just recruited me first!!! Mercenary for hire! :devil2:

And to Paul's credit, he threatened to 'accidentally' hit my leader with a sharp object during the landing! :shocked:
