$25 and no discounts at the (2008) Plugfest
Yes, I'm still smarting over the price I paid; but at least I'm making the plug pay itself back. As opposed to all my dismal plug building efforts which pay back even worse than my stocks.
Fish: 44" 30lb. 4oz. (NOT including the half pound scup it coughed up when I beached it). Photographed and released night of May 11th.
Plug: BF2.3 Prey with the back hook cut off.
Bonds to all who love the gene pool enough to release these girls.

Sauerkraut.......awesome fish! Thanks for sharing the pics! I see that plug has been paying dividends?  I think maybe I should have discounted that "Prey" swimmer by 10% and forgot to......so to make it up to you if you pm me your address and tell me what color you want I will send you another to kind of defray the exorbitant price you paid for that plug!  Congrats on the great catch!  |
Almost time to get our fish on!!!

Beautiful fish. I wonder if Spence knows about the new spring trend in the gloves.

I had to go back and do a double take. 1st to take another look at the sweet fish and 2nd to see if that really was a swimming cap! That's a first in fishing attire for me! I love it and surgical gloves to match! No flies on you! Awesome job on the plug too. I am so stoked to get out! |

Thank You, Mr. BIGFISH. I could use all the help I can get, because NUMBSKULL has cut me off from access to his arsenal.

That seals it - you and George have to come out to Block with me. I don't care what you dress in or how loud your neck ties are.

Plug building is all about $$, everyone thinks they're gonna go commercial these days.

Mr. Flap is right: he turfed me one of his big, classic colored, redhead home built surfsters last year which caught me a couple of substantial fish.
I started on the beaches in Jersey, and I think Jersey fisherman always had a thing about those Creek Chub Surfsters in that era. I know I did. It may be just my whim, but I always have my eye out for these. So, when I met Mr. BF's Prey Plug at the '08 Plugfest, I probably would have paid double for it. |
