And the SSA is a publicly-subsidized carrier.  |
Still, cheap compared to Nantucket...IF you can even find room for your car on the boat! |

If I'm not mistaken, SB members have 3 of the last 4 shore bass titles  |

Congrats Paul, you put in your time and it is well deserved. Block is a bargain compared to the Mass. Islands. I went to Nantucket in the nineties and the reason the ferry is so expensive is to discourage tourists from bringing their cars

Congratulations Paul on your win
that's quite an accomplishment on your resume  |
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.

I met Paul last season and we worked hard one night with little to show for it. Cudo's Paul for going back and bringing home the bacon. That's a great win!

Congrats on the big win Paul! That is quite an accomplishment since its a big derby with lots of people over a long period. Takes a good fish to win it and an especially big effort by the fisherman in that tough weather this year. Best of luck with the boat.

First, thanks for all the kind words and bests wishes. The money will be spent and the plugs lost but those (and the other memories) are what I’ll have in the end – and they are most important  (although a boat might have changed my mind)! 
We had a fun time. I never expected to win largest shore bass so I didn’t think I’d win the boat. So when I didn’t win the boat, I wasn’t disappointed. I got $520, a coffee maker, a vineyard vines jacket, a framed numbered print, a plaque with a small bass done by Janet Messiano on it, a Penn 10’ rod, Penn slammer reel and a bag of plugs/tins, bottle of wine and other stuff. They also gave out a Derby button with the number 1 on it. I thought I’d get a yellow rod, but they were all given out to the kids  .
At first I thought the print was just ok but the more I looked at it the more I like it. The frame is pretty nice also. My wife looked the artist up on line and said the prints were like $750. My print is #2 of 150. I got my pin for the daily prize. I was telling my wife that I usually am happy with a pin and that this was my third. Just then one of the young girls walked by and my wife said “maybe you can ask her for one of her 15 pins on her hat”. 
It was pretty neat when people realized I had largest shore bass. Everyone around me was congratulating me. After I didn’t win the boat, I was old news and no one cared. 
We decided to save the $150 for the ferry and took a cab. To the event was $23 and the return was $15 (w/o tip) . With 2 people carrying everything back, it wasn’t bad. It would have been tough for one person.
As Ross said, my name will always be in the program and I think that’s pretty cool.
Thanks again,
Paul |

Great job PaulS. You should be proud. You are now part of an elite group. The Derby is a serious tournament with some of the biggest name in the sport out there. You bested them all. Congrats. |

Even worse, I tried to get in as many pictures as possible but somehow they either photoshoped me out or deliberately picked ones I wasn't in. |
