Thumbs up personal best

took a break from my usual fishing locations to visit some family south of boston for a few days. i was able to sneak out a few nights and it paid large dividends. i was very pleased to haul in this 40# fish, 49.5 inches. shattered my previous personal best of 25#.

Nice.

Over the Last Several Years HAB'S NEEDLEFISH Have Caught More "Confirmed" 30, 40, 50, and even 60 pound Striped Bass than any other Wooden Needlefish on the Market today. 2 Over 50lbs. and 1 Over 60lbs. in 2005 alone........... "HOOK UP WITH HAB'S" Your Best Bet For BIG BASS.....
