Not much of a year for me as my health and family(boys 1 and 4) keep me busy/grounded, tomorrow I am sneeking out and I have high hopes.

Best moments: Getting Out!
Seeing soon to be brother-in-law hook his first striper on the

Regrets: None

"Best night I had for quantity was with my partner RI Rockhound in early Sept. We caught and released well over 50 Bass with more than half being legal keepers"


what night was that.. the problem with 100+ nights a season, I dont remember the where when of most of them....

This was my first season as a regular browser and contributer on SB and I found a lot of insightfull tips and topics discussed. I Had my best year ever!! I didn't catch my biggest ever but caught more decent sized fish, fairly consistantly. My favorite moment this year was actually off shore. I got lucky and grabbed a spot on my friends boat and caught this beautiful Blue fin Tuna, see picture. I had some interaction with Big Fish and Sandman, Lurch and a few others but never did get to wet a line with anyone?

So Seeing that the fish are not quite gone yet and I'm not ready to throw in the towel either. Any one want to meet up in Rhody this weekend? I'm probably going to make the trip regardless but if you want some company I would be happy to make one last push for a cow. Drop me a PM

Yet you have no problem recounting the specific details of events if it's about giving me a load of crap :liquify:

most memorable, not best..
 

was Friday night. By myself, I trip and fell backwards down a rocky slope in which I was luckily saved as my back slammed into the one rock that stuck up as opposed to the others which slope steeply toward the 10' rocky drop into a river. Near flood current running like a moon canal tide. I kinda felt like someone was watching out for me. Turns my stomach when I look at the spot and the serious danger I would have been if I had been a foot or so to the left or right.
A few minutes later after getting my legs back, I hooked my second fish in three casts that I fought for at least 50 minutes before I did something stupid and my 50lb pp snapped. I don't know if I could have got that fish as even if it died I would have had a hard time dragging it back against the current and I couldn't get any closer due to obstructions.

Only silver liing is that it was a place I fish regularly, where i never really expected to hook something that big and will be better prepared in the future.

my season
 

Just joined this site this year. Grateful for some tackle/boat tips from some of the guys here. Haven't fished with anyone from here yet but I'm sure I will. Got some nice wood from a couple of guys to "initate me" to wood.

Few times come quick to mind...

The only reason Bryan and I fish with you is for the memories. :rotf3: :rotf3: :rotf3: :rotf3:

I remember the night now; where you fished last night, it was a pre-dawn trip near the full moon right......

Spence isn't nothing if he isn't memorable...
