Beauty of a fish; I was hoping to read that you caught it on a homemade plug when I read thaat you got it on a home tied jig! You didn't build the boat too, Did you? Congrats!!!:claps:

Great Bass Bruce!!!:bounce: :cheers:

Hey Slip - nice fish! I heard out on the cape that you got a schweet fish but had to wait til now to congratulate ! Sweet fish - you earned it! Now you get to set the mark higher by 10 pounds :)

Hey Slip nice fish must be tough to get one that size back up in the current.U must lead a good life an have some good karma as everything has to go right to get one like that.Send me one plug to increase said good fish luck.:D

Thanks everyone.

rocketman, what boat? I was standing on the shore along the Cape Cod Canal tossing jigs into the middle and bouncing the bottom. BTW I am building a boat, how'd you know? ;)
But I didn't build the rod :) Breakaway did.

NIB, come collect it :)

Slip, you definitely deserve to get hazed for those shorts! Those are one of the few 70's styles so bad that they haven't come back... thankfully.

That's a great fish... definitely a pig. Congratulations.

For all the newcomers out there, this guy is a perfect example of what it means to put your time in. I met Bruce a few short years ago and neither of us were all that experienced in fishing stripers.

I've never seen him ask for directions to a spot... all he's done is quietly worked at it and has become a consistent lunker man every year.

Good job.

I wanna be Bruce when I grow up!...

Without the shorts though!

Nice story slip.

For me the best part about it is your humility. :D :D

Congradulations....
 

Congradulations on a great fish. Breaking that 40 lb mark is a memorable milestone. Keep on jigging and I see a 50 lber in your future. I had just about given up on that east end rip and now this happens. More sleepless nights are coming up.... :p

Nice BAIT Slip :D

schweeeeeeeeeeeeet!

Nice job Bruce:D Good to hear that you got it on a jig that you tied and painted yourself Congrads!!!

Hey Bruce… Congratulations!!! After all the stuff you’ve been going through… You deserve that beauty!

“Crazy” Alberto

nice fish !!!! must have been a good fight in the ditch . youll get a 50 next year if your record keeps improving year by year .

:cheers: :btu:

Welcome to the forty club slip!!!!

Hi Winchie-Poo. :D :p

You work a good combo of effort and humility Slip, and the result speaks for itself....which is:.....you gettin' it done, bro'!

Nice goin'..
