I think you may have too many Facebook friends. ;)

I wasn't in that particular spot this morning, but from where I was, I had a pretty good view. :grins:

When someone give you a hint O.D. Mike, you need to LISTEN!!!!:smash::smash::smash:

Having 4 Mike's in the room confused me....

Is their a fly rod class for the challenge?

:)

First tagger of the season
 

Released: ALS Tag No. 158858. I lost some sleep here. It's fun catching fish when Numby isn't too close by-- he doesn't let me hug and fondle them the way I wanna.

very nice, Sauerkraut!

Nice job Mr. Sour.

Credit Larry and his BigFish Prey swimmer. He might even get a new motto out of it.

"Plugs so good even a toad can make it work"

I don't know George you keep telling me don't give him any plugs as he stinks at fishing them but I keep seeing pictures of him with nice fish.

Way to go Kraut!

33.5# and 46"

......That's not Alan, its his stunt double. Note the no gloves, face or head cover, and the presence of a fish in the picture.......
Nice Alan.:tm:

Yeah, but how big was the fish? Haha, nice fish Greg.

Looks like Rick Hern has the lead w/38# and a little over one week to go. Lots of nice fish being caught in the last 5 days.

Didn't top Rick's fish, but I finally got some real fish w/biggest @44"

Bonus Points?
 

BB: Don't release fish count double? Or at least 1.5 multiplier?

Bonds, SK.

you picking on my size andy?:) usually I get, greg is the only person I know That can catch a striper the size he is and the fish is only 36":biglaugh:

good to see you guys the other day.

Alan,

This is a great point. Although there's only a week left, we'll create a Sauerkraut division for the largest released fish...in fact we'll name it the "Bonds" award.

heres one for the saurerkraut award and one for Bigfish - his pencils slayed them the other day, outfished the other guys around me

all fish released

cant get my bigfish pencil pics to load.....

here it goes

Wait.. you caught a fish, from the surf?
Whats next, supporting Obama?

not "a" fish but many.
not only from the surf, but with LURES.

I dont even recognize myself in the mirror, what have I become? :confused:

I don't belive it either. I want to see him actually hooking/fighting/landing/releasing a surf caught fish in a series of pictures before we even consider him worthy. Plus, we need at least three witnesses.

Something certainly seems to be amiss. I decline the invite to fish with you on Friday morning and you slay them (on lures from shore, no less). Then, I go Saturday and don't even get a bump. I think it's the RIJIMMY curse.

Seriously, those are some nice fish. Congrats.

Here's a terrible pic of a nice fish I released last week. Didn't get an accurate measurement because I was in a rush to get it back in the water, but it was quite a bit bigger than a 42" fish I measured earlier in the evening.

looks like "night of the living dead"

When you're as ugly as I am, you have to do everything at night. Children and old ladies run away screaming when they see me in daylight.

I shoulda taken a pic :smash::)

Next you will be fly fishing and voting for Nader :yak5::biglaugh:

True story. My 1oz bigfish pencil has been killer this spring. Friday was the day of the stick shad for me tho. I dont think it really mattered what you were throwing that morning to be honest. I coulda jumped in the water with a knife and caught something, most interesting man in the world style

O and I forget who originally posted it, but check out the fish calendar accuracy... it shut off after the 20th

past Saturday the 21st was in the top 5 best fishing days ever for me, so maybe the calender only works for some locales :fishin:
