I seem to be spending all of my time downstairs, spinning wood I hope will tempt a few big fish. Got me to wondering, what's the best you or one of your friends has gotten on your own wood? Have any of you gotten a 40 or 50 on your own stuff?
My personal best last year was only 38" on a fat black danny, my dad got a 42-43" on one of my danny's, and we both lost fish one night that I'm betting would have pushed 40#'s. Both fish hit dannies on the same cast, mine managed to leverage the trebles open while it was still running and my dad's broke him off after a 20 min stalemate.
We were all excited to go back the next night looking for a rematch, and 1/2 way up the beach there's a rope across the trail, closed for the stinkin birds and it's like a 2+ mile walk from there...
