It was a great year. Got back into freshwater fishing this year for the first time since the late 1990's. Had largies to 6 pounds in local ponds near my house.
My first shore striper of 2012 was caught in early March and it weighed close to 15 pounds! I was not ready for that, neither was my freshwater rod, leader and snap!
Had a blast fishing with a friend from PA who jumped a huge part of the learning curve and is now definitely going to be a surfcasting monster! His PB before the day we fished together was 24#... he took a 26 a 33 and a 39 in about three hours time... all caught on plugs and ALL RELEASED!
Of course my biggest highlight was busting 50#, now I need one on a plug and I plan to release the next one (if I get one)--as long as she'll swim away.
I'm not nearly done for 2012 but I already can't wait for 2013
