A few blackfish pics...
First is my father, circa 1980ish, his Peresonal Best blackfish at 17.5... an absolute moose of a blackfish.. I might bass fish 100+ trips a year but when we go blackfishing, I usually get smoked... and I know how to catch em... I think he smells the %$%$%$%$ers before they bite.... He lurks occasionally as Tautog01 on here and a few other boards...

Second is my grandfather with an average blackfish... OK, not back in the day, but he was a 'back in the day' fisherman. Pic is circa late 90's, one of his last fishingtrips. he was a great blackfisherman 'in the day' and still laugh when I think about his stories... he didnt fish with us much his last few years, but was always willing to dole advice from behind his desk and is sorely missed. Every now and then ,thinking of something (i.e. looking for a new piece of structure) and I catch my self thinking I'll ask Red...) He still provides some MoJo, and his trusty squidder is still always at ready!
