My Personal Best

Been trying and trying to break 25 lbs.
Did it today and then some.

36 1/2 lbs.

She took a live pogie.

Weighed her in for the OTW striper cup too.

Good for you Van. Have a beer tonight and enjoy the moment. Tomorrow's another day. Nice job my friend.

Van,

Very nice fish - congratulations. You pretty much zipped right by the 25lb mark with that one. Now you can set your next goal to a 40 pounder - hope you get it this year.

Nice, Van! That definitely does not suck!

Congrats Van
maybe the fish wore you out too much to smile

The United States Constitution does not exist to grant you rights; those rights are inherent within you. Rather it exists to frame a limited government so that those natural rights can be exercised freely.

1984 was a warning, not a guidebook!

It's time more people spoke up with the truth. Every time we let a leftist lie go uncorrected, the commies get stronger.

Nice Fish

Van,
Most excellent fish and don't forget to frame the pix.
I have only one reservation--that fish has Food Dude
written all over it. Are you sure it was a live pogie??

Next is a forty.

Van,

I believe that fish gets you a gold pin in MSBA derby for June.
Just under the wire.

Nice fish Van

my all time best is 36 you got me by 1/2 pound

that girth looks huge
It's amazing what a good diet of pogies will do for a fish.


I fished Friday night/ sat am with live ended up getting the best fish of the night 27 pounds on a fresh cut pogie head
