Another one for the tight race for the numbskull award, 15"

Attachment 57291

Man, you Falmouth guys catch some small fish....Numbskull must have mentored you.

Post up some specifics with regard to the tackle these fish were caught on and we'll declare a leader. Hopefully your drags were fully locked.

VS150 and 10' CTS, caught on a 7" redfin, sadly the biggest of the night wasnt much bigger.

WOOOOO schoolie shmorgesboard today. thought I actually had one over 28" but it turned out to be a double LOL on the orca 2oz with a 10ft st croix mojo and vs200. not sure on the measurement 20" maybe?

Good lord, we might need a new category. Please tell me the line was 50# test and your drag was locked.

Alas, 30 pound... But I did hear the drag click once:devil2:

Guys, we need the line test and type you used to go along with your entries before I declare a leader. The Numby award is no joke, thus we need all the pertinent details to aid the decision making.

30lb Sufix braid and a 40lb mono leader

50 lb power pro tied to a 50 lb pink ande mono leader with a breakaway clip

I'm gonna declare JD our leader in the Numbskull division given he overpowered that schoolie with 50# test despite having a slightly shorter rod than capecodkid.

Thanks for the entries guys, this is shaping up to be a barnburner....:lama:

Just to be clear the leading entry for our Numbskull division is:

Johnny Ducketts

15" fish

50# test line and leader.

9' rod.

I'm gonna get my stand up 70 , 100 # mono , and bobber and worm a 12 inch kibbie.

Your sartorial shyness is disappointing.
Nice fish though.
Did it eat Superstrike darter?

Good luck Johnny! Thanks George, that's a Shultz darter

If I have more than one board members as a witness can we use that as proof? Doesn't matter but caught a bluefish smaller than the darter I was using. That would have been the ultimate Numby Award Winner. 1213M and Abu 7000 on 65 LB Braid. Poor guy lost an eye in the fight.

Nice Biteme, real nice. I had a similar colored surfster maybe 15 years ago
that caught like crazy one year when nothing else worked. I'll have to pull it
out again this year.

Hey Dave he caught that fish exactly across from the sandy island where you and the wife luv to spend your late summer, fall, cape vaca.

The westportmafia double penetration award! 2 plugs for the winner. Johnny snax is currently in the lead

Imagine that!

At the risk of killing yet another thread, I'm gonna throw my boatless ass (sold this week) into this shore fishing tournament of late season honor. I'll be fishing NY shoreline in my new haunts with absolutely no clue where to go. Perfect! Just the kind of situation that might produce the fish of a lifetime.

Good luck and tight lines!

To keep the juices flowing.....for RI guys at least.....and to match Biteme's pace.

38", released. Blue cloud Pichney style darter.

yessssssss. you do usually pay extra for that kind of action

only for midget hermafabass :love:

14.9375 inches.:uhuh: 10.5' century, 40 lb braid. Dragged this poor guy all the way from the middle of the canal this morning. Had a 40 plus inch fish yesterday morning but alas no camera but I really have no interest in larger fish I want the Numby award.

Nice fish G.

Several fish up to 18# on homemade, in bed by 10. All released

It is a fish like that must make you glad you're using a Stella.

Nicely done.

Unfortunately I never measured this monster, but he took "Ted the Greeks" needle & inhaled both hooks, definitely smaller than 15" but no proof, Cts 11' VT 4-8, ZB-25, 30lb suffix, 50 lb. leader!

I think your taking me to the wrong spots, I gotta start paying you.

Casey,

Great catch and congrats but it needs to be a bass. Sorry if I left the species requirement out of the rules.

Ok Paul, you're taking over the leaderboard in the Numby division. Great catch and I hope it was an epic battle.

Thanks for posting GGM. That's one embarrassingly small fish no doubt. :laughs:

In fairness to the other entrants there should be a measurement taken seeing this Numbskull category is being hotly contested. It looks like the title will be a difference of just a few millimeters that separates the men from the boys.
