:eek: :eek: I know I know its hard to believe but I saw it with my own eyes Don got a keeper last night plus his largest fish yet. No pictures yet as I did not bring the camera. But I am sure he will have some soon.:cool: I will let him tell you the details. What a great night on the water but Don I still say fullmoon NO BIG FISH ( by the way my big was 481/4") Only thing is does it count Don as you caught it TROLLING:smash: :smash: :smash:and on a 9ner rig:mad:

Congrats Bliz! The first is the hardest. You'll be getting many more.

great bliz, and just a few days ago you were saying, NO KEEPERS. which i find that hard to believe with all the fishin'buddies you have!! unless you're talking the surf!!good for you! and keep the reels zzzzinging!! :)

atta boy Don, finally =========we,ll skip the issue of being with the trolling monster////:D

Congrat's Don - sounds bigger than any of my fish (earned on the beach :laughs: )

Let's see some pics...

Does it count, Yes it counts! What ever manipulation needed (aside from nets and sienes) to get the girls is fair game.
Congrats, I hope it's the first of many this year.

Thanks guys!

What a night!... Thanks Greg!... my wife also finds it hard to believe... my luck prior to last night has been horrible when it comes to taking home a keeper sized Bass!!!

regardless of what anyone says, you still have to pay your dues even when trolling for the big ones!... especially in Fairhaven! ;)

last night sure beat pounding the surf for twinkies!...

And not only that,

I think I FINALLY got my wife off of my back!!!

She was ready to have a storm shad mounted as my skunk trophy for 2003!!! :rolleyes:

I don't have as many fishing buddies as you may think Shore Manic...

But Greg is definitely one of them as well as a valued friend!.

Thanks so much!!! last night was an AMAZING evening!

The Fall run is upon us!... it's time to raise the bar!

Sure hope you're right about it getting easier from here Saltheart!...

It has been the longest (in some ways) & fastest season this year!

I absolutely love New England!... we are so priveledged to have some of the best fishing anywhere so readily available to us!


Pics will come as soon as I get them developed and scanned...

I need to get a digital camera :smash:

Congrats Bliz!

the smell of VICTORY :btu:

I beg to differ with you Greg on that full moon thing...

You thought I missed that, and that you were off the hook on that one... didn't you?! :bshake:

Thanks Slip!...

How have you been?... long time since I have heard from you!

I hope to crank out some plugs on that grizzly over the winter months this year!... :D

I'm busy, ok I guess.
I haven't made a plug in many months.
Glad you got into fish

Plan on turning some during the offseason?...

Hopefully business is doing well for you!...

but not so well that you're missing quality time on the water!!!

CONGRATS ON YOUR STRIPER DID YOU GO TO LILLLECOMPTON WE WERE THER GOT ONE BLUE THE WAVES WERE BRETTY STRONG SO WE LEFT A 9PM

Congrats and Greg is a keepa.

Congrats, feels good dosen't it :cool: later LINK

Don,
I know how it feels.
Were you dancing around the boat when it happened?
Congrats,
Rick

I hope you cleaned your feet this time:laughs:

don, i'm sure you have paid your dues by now to catch a fish worthy of your wifes removal of the storm trophy from the mantel. congrats to you..glad we had the chance to warm ya up for the big one the other night.

Goose I mad him take his shoes off at the dock before he could come aboard.:laughs: :laughs:

Geesh!... isn't anything sacred?... :eek:
Yeah Goose!... I left the cleats at home :laughs:

And thanks to Mr Redcrbbr for the fantastic warm up the evening before!...

It's been a great week! :D

I owe you Greg! :fishslap:

Pics please....! :D

Soon... I hope!

I've got to finish the roll of film... and develop & scan the photos!

What I wouldn't give to have had a digital camera! :smash:

We did catch large although

"Mr. I'm spoiled by all these large Bass"... would disagree! :rolleyes:

So, Mr. Ledgerunner...

How did you guys do?... Greg tried to call you a couple of times, but was unsuccessful.

It was probably good that he didn't reach you anyway...

You would have been :yak: anyway... :laughs:

You're still alive after your trip, so I know that you folks didn't hit any rocks or anything!...

You didn't happen to end up wearing any squid juice did you?... :laughs:



By the way Mr. Clammer, there is someone who hates Blues even more than you do!...
