If this is the Iron Mike that was in OTW a couple months ago, he deserves that fish, he sure puts his time in.

Nice Going!

That's him & yes he does! He was the club winner last year and it looks like a repeat! If this is 60 pounds (and I believe it is) this will be his SECOND SIXTY pound bass from shore! He might just be the MOST successful surdcaster pounding the sand these days!

SeaWolf 07-29-2003 08:07 PM

i think this is good news. he got his big fish for the year and now he can pack his gear for the season.

when's the party? we are getting him drunk again, right?

OK, I might be lost but I think Striper Mike and Iron Mike are two different guys . . . correct me if I"m wrong . . . it's never happened before :rolleyes:

Caught ON a HABS NEEDLE FISH

Joe 07-30-2003 12:03 AM

Hey -
It does not include the latest big fish, but.....
Here is the a link to the Iron Mike article that ran in On The Water.....it has a couple of extra photos and is a little longer than the published version. This is the raw text...Enjoy!

a HABS needle fish must be a great lure !!

That's a real cow, quite a year for sure, congrats Mike.

Tattoo 07-30-2003 07:02 AM

Iron Mike - I've fished with the guy probablly 50 times this year if not more....it's usually a few guys that gang up for the night and hammer the surf.....Mike usually starts off with an ice cold BUD and a story of how he worked for 35 minutes today and then did 6 laps around 10 mile drive, had lunch and went home.....a few more cold BUD's and then he might start fishing. Meanwhile the rest of the gang is fishing, maybe catching......Sometimes I think Mike would rather just hang out and enjoy being with the guys than catch a fish....Mike will eventually muster up the energy to make a few casts......

This time Mike leaves the house at 7:30pm - ALONE ( just like all the other times he stuck a cow).....heads out for a few casts alone to "Destination X".....from his house to "Destination X"....figure 20 minutes......8:30pm He's on.....back home at 9:15pm.....:smash:

He had to leave an 18lb bass he was going to bring home for supper on the rocks.....he said he just couldnt carry it back with the other fish.

Mike weighed the fish the next morning. 60.2lbs caught on a 9inch blue and white HABS Needlefish.

I have picked Mike's pickeled brain hundreds and hundreds of time on how he does it......the only thing he can tell me is "I would rather be lucky than good".

This makes three years in a row Mike has made his mark. Two 50's and a 60.

Congrats to my good friend Iron Mike, the guy who somehow managed to shove a lucky horseshoe where the sun don't shine!

As much as I love the guy, and as close as Mike and I are as friends, there is NO ONE in this world that I would like to strangle to death than him right now!!!!!! I just don't know how he does it. :confused:

I'm off the find some leather gloves and a ski mask.:devil:

chris L 07-30-2003 07:16 AM

LOL Tatoo .

Ive met him once seems like a decent guy and he deserves another couple buds or a 60 or both .

Good for you Iron Mike !!
