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.

zimmy 05-22-2011 09:34 AM

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

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

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.

not only from the surf, but with LURES.

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.

RIJIMMY 05-23-2011 09:14 AM

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.

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:

Since when is a man-made trough full of sea water, mackerel and stupid fish categorized as "surf"?

No waves means no "surf"!! ;-)

Hey Rick !
You dropped one.

rickhern 05-24-2011 07:04 AM

Yes I did. It was probably just a 15# hooked in the tail. At least that story allows me to sleep at night.

MAKAI 05-24-2011 09:08 AM

No, I mean look behind you, you left a fish on the road.:biglaugh:

Moon and star alignment mixed w/ some toad stool and bat wings. CT is a little behind the times. Slowdown started here on the 22nd, so maybe the pattern is correct, but the exact days are off.
