I DID IT!!!
 

"Larry" (pictured below with me), short for Larry Bird, measured in at 33" long.

My biggest catch ever, it beat my goal of catching a 30" striper by 3 inches!

Carl would be so proud of me.

Thanks to all the tips and well-wishing. What a rush.

Oops. How do you attach the picture? It didn't work!

Sweetieface at the bottom of the reply page it says attatch file, click the browse button, then go to the location on your computer where the picture is. Double-click the picture and click open. Then click submit reply. Congrats on your fish. :D

If you want to email it to me I will try to put it up for you.

Goodie Goodie....:D

...."Advance to Go, and collect $200"....


....I hope you know, its like a drug!!


WELCOME TO ONE OF THE CLINICS!! :laughs:

Here is a picture of Sweetieface's fish. If they are getting fish like this on the north shore, maybe we should take Ross up on his get together offer.

..Forgive me for saying this but...


....you picked the PERFECT name for the site (sweetieface);) that fish bit cuz he knew what was at the end of the line...and congratulations again on the fish. Those are some attractive rocks behind ya......where about is that?:happy: ...

HEY ROSS!!!!

Bloo you can say that again.:D

...I am curious though....

..why did you call him "Larry Bird"???....:confused:


..Stripers have BIG mouths......you should have called him Emil Carr..:laughs: :laughs:

He was 33" long hence Larry Legend.:o

What can I say but Way To Go!!!!....makes my day ....get another.....:)

sweetieface nice fish!!!! the smile says it all!!! :happy:

Re: I DiD it!!!

Indeed you did! I know I have seen those rocks before.

I'm flattered, Bloocrab. :blush: Thanks.
But the fish bit because he knew he was overpowered by my massive fishing skills......... (ok, even *I'm* laughing at that!) I have a four inch bruise on my forearm from reeling the sucker in!

The rocks are beautiful, aren't they?
I am sorry, but if Carl taught me one thing: You cannot divulge your fishing locations......
If I do, you'll catch all the big ones and I'll have none!!!!!

Thanks again Specialist for posting that for me! :D :cool:

Yeah, that fish looks kinda happy:D


Congrats again:happy: :happy: :happy: :happy: :laughs:

....;) Your one of the smart ones too huh?....:eek: ....


...WATCH OUT FISHEEEZ!!!....:cool: ...she's got the 'looks'...the skills....and the brains....WHAT A COMBINATION!!!:) ...


and don't worry about me catching all the big ones...I don't catch fish...I just talk about it :p

You bet! Carl's momma didn't raise no fools!

As lucky as I was, he was too.

Watch out cats and kittens.....I'm gonna catch a big 'ol STRIPER and put you pro fishermen to *shame* !!!

...just don't dress so dang pretty next time.....;) Fishing gets messy~ya BIG SHOW-OFF :p :p

Congrats on your stripe, nice fish for sure, get a few more like that or bigger and you will be hooked for life.

I already am hooked for life. After the first time I went, I was thinking about it all day long after.

It is like a drug.

And don't worry, I have clothes specially put aside just for my new favorite hobby....

Going out to buy my first rod next week. Any suggestions?

Go to a reputable store with your friend. Try the rods yourself, whats good for some of us may be not be good for you. Daiwa Sealine-X rods are a good price, light in weight, and have quality components.

Since I posted that picture, care to divulge to me any hotspots :D

I use a Daiwa Sealine Surf and it is exactly as advertised, not too expense but it is really light and is a quality product...
