Personal Best.. Weighed in for SB.com
First fish ever over 30lbs... Weighed in at 32#.
Weighed it in this morning for team striped-bass.com
Caught on topwater... It was a very nice morning.
Funny story.. Im bringing the fish in, and I notice there is a Environmental Officer right behind me. He starts making fun of me and cracking jokes at my expense.. He had me rolling while I was trying to bring this fish in... When I got it in, he measured the fish we had and was on his way....

Congrats Brian, looks like team S-B will be moving up a little bit more in the standings.
That's the 3'rd personal best I've heard of this week!

It was a VIOLENT morning for the topwater... I caught about a dozen fish on the pencil, and most of them were pretty spectacular hits...
BUT.. to be honest.. the 32# kinda just came up and sucked it in..
the fun started when he realized he was hooked....

EPO measured it on the rocks at 43"
Redtop measured it on the ground at 41.5"
My scale and their scale (official) said 32#
It definitely was fat. |

Just to put the fish in perspective, you should tell everyone how tall you are.
I will say that since you joined this site a few years ago, I've read some of your posts where you've lamented over the lack of big fish in all the years you've been fishing. Props to you for never giving up. I know people that have done so for lack of big fish but you kept your drive and determination and I'll tip my hat to you. 
Well done Brian. Now shoot for a 40.  |
