From OTW to the Fishermen....next is Saltwater Sportsmen:eek:

boy I hope he is being compensated for his pix being used to sell magazines .

no, next is late night w/ letterman. or, even better, hardball w/ chris mathews. i want to see the 2 of them go at it word for word! i can barely understand either of them!

nice schoolie..

There is something about holding up your second sixty pound fish that lends a large degree of credibility to an angler.... don’t cha think?
Who knows...maybe with the rise of more high end products, like the ones used by Iron Mike, SS will decide that there is enough revenue in surfcasting advertising to merit running surf stories again.
From what I hear, on Long Island people are spending big bucks on surfcasting gear, campers, etc.

Something ironic about his picture on an issue devoted to tuna . . . I understand they are trying to be timely but :smash:

what, you never saw iron mike's tuna reel? it's big, gold, spins...hey, tattoo, you seen that thing ever???

You mean the VS 400? The spool is the size of a bulk spool of 20lb big game....

It's at the Saltwater Edge in a display case...stop by and turn the handle, quite a peice of machine work.

rods ,clothing: ect. hopefully he'll get endorsements and end up with a real nice "new boat" ...... for all his efforts.:D

Raven....you may be onto something! that even has a nice ring to it! Iron mike brand fishing gear......:D


Guy I dont even know and I but recognized him on the cover as soon as I saw it yesterday!!! Congrads Mike, an inspiration to many of us!

Raven you fool! Surf guys don't want boats, thats why they fish from the surf.:hihi: :laugha: Why couldn't they print Iron Mike's head over the "The Fisherman" on the cover so it didn't cut his head off?:doh: :think:

maybe cause he isnt tall enough too . LOL Im not any taller .

did you notice how the fisherman blocked out the reel?

I wonder if they owe that mag $$$??

The Fisherman seems to be slow...

We already talked about all the topics on that issue's cover. :D
