The Bomba Brother's Vacation Chronicles Part Deux

Just got back from a great week of fishing with my brother, wife, parents and friends. Hundreds of fish were caught from shore. Most of them being striped and over 15 pounds. The first few days were pretty slow (figures things would heat up for me after the tournament ended) with my biggest fish the first few days (during the tourny) being 17 pounds.

Action reely started to pick up on Monday. I was landing many twenty+ pound fish on top water for the rest of the week kept a few, but released most. Some of the most fun I have ever had. Wait until I post the pictures of the blitz. I am saving the best for last.

Now, like I promised, the best for last. This blitz when on for upwards of two hours. There was about 20 fisherman on the beach who experienced it. I know for a fact one other guy from the site was there. What's up Chris! Anyway, I lost track of how mwny fish I landed after the first 15 minutes. I don't think there was one short in the bunch. My arms hurt so bad. I literally had to rest. That's when I took these pictures. Most of these fish in this picture are between the 15-23#s there were some bigger mamas mixed in as well.

I wish the blitz pix did justice, but they don't. It was insane fishing!!! My best fishing trip ever by far. Every morning like clockwork the fish came in to the first wave. All topwater action to boot. We drove back and forth on the beach like mental cases. Mike and Rick are great guys who love to fish and that is cool. The first morning I met Mike he told me he had just almost puked and then proceeded to join me for a drink. He was with his dad and he was driving!!! Hey Rick, next time no sleep at all. No big deal, you made up for it the rest of the week. Sure sucks when your arms need ice after fishing . Hey Mike, next time cut the hook out!!!

Dudes, that blitz pic is WILD!!! That is just awesome. That may be my favorite picture of all time. It would be better with me in the foreground hooked up to a fish, but wow.
