LMAO... Actually, it's just a simple permanent marker but the photos are a little elusive. Those are put there not to show the weight but those are really for showing the quarter mile dragstrip times those fish swam on a closed course. If the fish were flipped over, you'd see the speed they went through the trap at :P . Using soap like they do at the dragstrips just didn't work out too well for some reason.

Actually, I was on the phone about an hour ago with Nelson Valles, the club's historian. He was telling me much about these pictures as well as about some others he'll get to me in the future. Those fish were all shore fish and I'm guessing 60s, 70s, and 80s were the decades they were caught. It was a very interesting conversation and one thing he mentioned was a reunion that NPSFA recently put together. The y got members from 30-40 years ago to come in with pictures and stories and they filmed it. It will be aired in the near future on local Rhody channel 13. I'm looking forward to seeing that and will announce when that will happen. The video tapes will be sold and proceeds will go to the clubs take-a -kid-fishing when they get alot of inner city youths out on charters from Galilee for a days fishing... Very inspiring work.

Saltheart, he named three times as many places in Narragansett that you have :P , but I'm sworn to secrecy...
