It all paid off - New personal best!

well, all the sleepless and fishless nights have finally paid off. I shattered my personal best this weekend with this 33 pound beauty. The fish went 41 inches and fat, but I was still shocked when the scale at surfland read 33 pounds.
here's the surfland pic, which made the fish look bigger than it was:

Nice one.

Rockport24 09-03-2007 07:11 PM

thanks guys, fish was caught on an eel. I know it's not like some of the monsters caught by some of you guys, but my PB before this was like 18 pounds! so I would have been happy just to break 20! so this was unreal!

Put a # larger than 33 in the blank :rollem:
