Pm'd you. Pete had a good reputation for catching as well as mentoring his fellow anglers. A real good guy. We were just hanging out at sunset B.S. ing when the photo op came up.

What a beautiful collection of photos I just saw! You all have to admit, that we are upon an era of big fish that we all thought was over and done with long ago.
Do we all really have to rally for the protection of the species or is it a reciprocal 30 year event that Stripers do so well and then Blues take over the food chain and so on and so on?
I was 12 years old when the blues came in to Narragansett Bay in numbers that where never seen before or again. The whole bay was boiling! Blues hitting the bottom of the boat woke us to see a blitz like nothing before, you where afraid to get to close to the gunwale.
Anyway, God catch guys!
JUST BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!!!

I don't know casting Z's, I'm sure man will screw it all up once again trying to play with nature :(
But enjoy it while it lasts :)

a 40 lb 48 inch canal bass on a skinjig

What a hum dinger fish! I noticed you have no spiked soles on top of those slippery rocks. How do you do it?

Thanks, felt soles are fine for the canal unless you're on rockweed, in that case you may as well sit down and slide on that crap till you get under it.

a bruce i know we got a million fish but find the pis of us i know a few times we both pulled 40lb'rs :musc:
