Congrats Iron Mike way 2 go
You da man!!!!

congrats mike and john !

looks like I will have to fish harder to get them items too .

Oh, what a striper warrior Iron Mike is...it looks like he is your striper knight, Habs. lol:D
If I am going to be a rhody baby surfcaster regular, I would use your plugs since I think the basses like to eat large and binge themselves to fullest.

Man...I Would Love A 42" Needlefish Plug!
 

Gonna have to fish harder for that! Congrats Iron Mike!:btu:
