OOOOOOps!!! wrong picture...


Goose emptied out his plug bag last night, throwing everything but the kitchen sink at em'...to land only a couple of small fish. Once he changed over to the Cutty Eel leftovers, it took roughly 3 minutes .... and bang FISH ON!!...zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.....zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.......Z ZZZZZZZZZZZZ

I'll let Goose fill you guys in...

Nice fish....
Good Job Goose~

Just got back from weighing it in.....29.7#, 43 1/2 ", 23" girth. Proably was a 30# + when I hooked up 20 hrs ago. Westport river fish took a eel on the first hour of the in coming.
Fish just weren't takin lures in the evening. Switched over to eels once it got dark, and the rest was awsome. Don't we all love the feeling of putting our hands under a big fishes gill plates! ( ya know he's now yours ) How does the saying go, expect the unexpected! Looking forward to seeing some of your bass pic's........." YOUR DO TWO "

Congrats to the Goose!

Got to love those Acushnet River Eels, or did you use an import from someplace else?
