LOL. Nice catch. Name him George and don't let him bite you. This should be in the highlights section. Have a good Thanksgiving.

Biggest thing you caught this season.

Needless to say, rope that i thought would float a little, sank like a stone, and anchor, chain and rope went bye bye. tried grappling to no avail.

Equally frustrating was my inability to get one of the best plug fishermen on this website into a decent fish all season. Probably 20 trips and not one good sized bass like years past. His brother came out one trip, and bested his best fish of the year by easily 4 inches. The tough part was i know he fished harder this year, then any other.

...almost blew my coffee out my nose reading this...!

Having a fish take your eel, and on the hook set, the 4/0 Gammi sets right back into the eel. The result is a VERY short fight, but always long enough to know what caliber of fish took your offering. It usually happens only 2 or 3 times a season.
NOT 2 DOZEN TIMES! :wall:

It cost me some very large fish this year.

... I also dropped a 46 pound fish and took 4 spines to the inside of my knee while trying to take a picture during a solo mission. A little home surgery was needed a few days later to remove two of the spines.
