Finally! I have been a while trying to set a new personal best and this morning was the morning! 32 pounds on a new larger size "Blitz Seeker" I have been trying out.....with great success thus far! Fish was 43 1/2 inches long!:btu: Not bad on topwater!!:happy: The canal and I are getting along fine! Last place I ever thought I would get a PB?!

Not much to tell........she gave it a hard smack and missed it....came back around and smashed it and she was on! Good fight......I just kept thinking "Give me this fish!" Fortunately I got a good set with the belly treble right behind the jaw. I had a feeling it was a new PB but wanted to see it on a scale before I got too happy! Thanks to Professor Moriarty, Afterhours, JohnR and Slingah for making it fun this am! Had alot of laughs to boot!:rotf2:

Chris.....funny all the fish I got this am came on Bunker colored plugs! And I threw a few different colors! Took fish on the "Prey", 2.5 oz. pencil, 1 3/4 oz pencil and the big "BS"! Strange!

You're right, Mike - in situations like that I'd recommend that new PhotoShop plug-in called Spot-Blocker (TM)

Actually, it's another product from CraftCo industries :hihi:

I'd do a little demo here but I've gotta run out for eels before the shop closes :ss:

Maybe a little later....

Raven 10-01-2008 04:06 PM

Great fisherman
catches a great fish
on a Great plug...
........................... what a combination, Congrats BF

Crafty Angler 10-01-2008 04:08 PM

Oh yeah, Larry, BTW -

Congrats on the PB :btu::btu::btu:

Sea Dangles 10-01-2008 04:40 PM

Blitzseeker 10-01-2008 04:54 PM

Nice fish......couldn't have caught it on a better named plug!!

This is the proudest I've ever felt for a fish I didn't catch myself!

:btu:

angler229 10-01-2008 05:05 PM
