Cool - make sure you fill out the slip and send it in:

I got the 4 smallest fish on eels last night that I've ever had. One brute ran about 16-17 inches and less than a pound - it sucked down an eel about 12-13 inches long

I probably had the best fish of the leg, but I kept it, so I'm SOL (not the website

. Somehow, despite the fact that the drag on my Nautil was almost locked, it loosened up about 30 seconds into the fish

The fish was almost drowned after 10-15 minutes on the hook, including a full 3 hung on the bottom. Mac had time to walk to the truck, grab some water, and walk back and the fish was still somewhere out there in parts unknown. "Is that the same fish you had when I left???"

43" and 27-1/2#on slip's hand scale, 24.75# this AM at M&Ds. I don't know whether it'll temporarily put in into the top 10 for s-b in the OTW Cup. It won't last there long, I'm sure, if it even makes it now.

Later on, I tried to match Mac for the starfish division, but fell about 3 short

Heard it was a tricky battle won ................... Nice Striped Bass

Ah, backbeach, I was wondering what screen name you were last night. Mac introduced you by your given name

Great to meet you too.

A lot of the credit also goes to Berkley---that Big Game braid can take some scraping, I guess

Actually, the black Nautil crapped out totally afterwards. I had to run back to my wife's truck and swap it out for the yellow.

But as of today---they're both back-ups

Skitterpop · 07-09-2006, 10:05 PM
