What's wrong with the picture? We can see the fish and your face is blotted out. Very nice.

That is not luck, its skill. Good to know you see the light, keep plugging.

that looks like just about all my fish pictures, except there is no flash of light, just a big dumb thumb. Nice fish.

That picture was intentionally altered to hide the eel dangling from its maw.

It's not the bait
At the end of your line
It's the fishing hole
Where all the fish is blind

I would have to catch a 125lb fish just to make it look big when I hold them up!

Seriously though, Starting on Monday the 7th thru Saturday night I had 6 fish over 30 pounds and two over 35lbs. Umpteen 20 to 25 pounders plus smaller fish along a non descript chunk of beach that I rarely if ever see anyone else. The fish were picky, even the little ones. They wanted stubby needles in white. I went through all my Gags 5 inch needles, several of Stetzko's small needles and a couple Gibbs Stubbys, white was by far tyhe best color and if it had a flag on the ass end it was better. Best thing was you would just cast into the wind, close the bail and you were on.

I had not had fishing like that in twenty odd years, fish were bumping into my legs, swirling in the surf s#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&g bait. A sound I had not heard in that volume since the glory days of Monomoy. I was joined by Sauerkraut the last good night. He started with a couple ten to 15 pound fish then wham, a 36.5lber, his next was 25 even the it just went on from there.

I fished there the last couple nights and since the wind change all I could manage was two school bass about 20 incehs long, no more bait no more fish. Goods things never last I guess.

I was truly blessed last week. The one good thing is that my right arm is no longer sore.

Why even try.........
