who in their right mind would walk away from a blitz of 30# fish? :doh:

sorry Jim :hidin: you're right, he was not there, we were the only 2 maniacs. Let me re-phrase that , uhhh I wasn't the one making comments about how beat and tired I was, that was Jim, but he is much smaller than I but in great fishing shape for an accountant ;) I was just glad you did not have any technical difficulties that night. We need another of those some time soon, but maybe at another location:faga:

Slip,

Yep. I'm an accountant ( sit at desk all damn day). However....

I can keep up with the Neanderthals. :btu: :rotf2:

And.... for the record. I figured that night was more like 800#s

avrg fish 22.5# X 36+ fish = 800#s ( plus/minus)

Would anybody be willing to take me with them this summer and show me a situation like this? Seriously.

you can't pick night like this...only dream of them and hope they come true

decksweeper and I were lucky enough one night, as was slipnot and jim

although they are rare nowadays, I guess they were the norm in the golden years

[QUOTE=jim sylvester;468798]zimmy
decksweeper and i got into 25-30 lb class for 3 hours straight last year. A night i will NEVER forget. He was picking up fish cast after cast, I was into 2 fish to his 6, and i was 50 yards south of him.
He calls me over to get to the rock he was on, which put me in a sticky situation going neck deep to get there for about 20 feet. I knew it was worth it, had to get there. When i finally got to the rock, a helping hand got me out of the water and the games begun

these fish were in front of us for A SOLID 3 HOURS, cast after cast. It got to the point where we were laughing like school children.

end of the night, exhausted, we enjoyed a couple of cold ones reminicing.


Its so sweet same thing happened to myself and Jim D in late november 2005 3 hours of fish in the 30lb range. I landed about 15 fish Jim 18 and it could have been more but i spent a bit of time changing crushed VMCs. :beat:

and we also had a few victory sodas:cheers:

It happens occasionally. I had several nights last year where it happened. Three on the outer Cape in the fall, one on the shores of CC Bay late fall and one on a rocky island south of Woods Hole in the dead of summer.

Being on the water as much as possible and being willing to explore new areas and do the leg work ( and believe me it takes leg work)

If you are serious about your fishing, who you with fish is serious and committed and study the area in depth that going to fish and youre willing to put up with endless fishless or almost fishless nights, the aches and pains and stay focused it will happen to you eventually.

Thank you all for contributing to this thread,
