Greg that's awsome, I hope you get some slobs with that. I will be taking care of the others over the winter. Hopefully they will work as well.

Thanks Milo I sure was Glad to see someone I knew up in that parking lot especially. I am leaving the cooler home from now on. Just gotta get rope to keep with me.

StriperJerk, MR Macey , Clammer thanks. You guys stay out there I know there are plenty more just waiting for a piece of bait, plug, GS Rubber, Jig, or anything else that looks tasty.

The best part of the whole thing is, that freinds were there to share it .

Goose · 10-09-2002, 06:42 PM

That's a heck of catch Bill, way ta do it dude.

Canalratt1 · 10-09-2002, 06:43 PM

Way to go Billy! I'm ready for tomorrow night! I think I have a few jigs to donate!

TheSpecialist · 10-09-2002, 06:54 PM

Thanks Goose, you are the man of consistancy though. You got alot of large from shore this year.

Tony if thats a deffinate, I am in.

Striper1 · 10-09-2002, 07:29 PM

you deserve it you have been working hard all year (fishing ) ! show the boss so he knows giving you time off is a good thing . A few fillets might help for the rest of the season .

Specialist,

Good fish, and also glad to hear your season has been sweet. I agree, this year has been great. I haven't done all I've wanted to do, but I've had lots of fun and that's the whole point.

Congrats and glad you guys are gettin' into them down there... the GS plastic strikes again. Its definitely good stuff.

Bill, you gonna fish locally this weekend?

DaveS · 10-10-2002, 11:42 AM

Way to go Specialist!! Thats a nice fish from the Ditch bro. Now ya gotta get one from Naps that size.

TheSpecialist · 10-10-2002, 10:33 PM

Thanks Guys.

Chris I showed my boss the picture today, his jaw nearly hit the floor.

SM I don't think I will be doing much this weekend, gotta hook up with Capesams on saturday, and I think the wife has made some plans. I went to the canal tonight and fished those 7" split tails. The fish were nailing them every drift.

Dave I was so bummed that I did'nt get fish down there. I was ready to hang it up for the season. I have hockey, and scouting for deer hunting now. My wife said give another trip, so I went. It was awsome. I can't wait to stick a cow down in Naps now.

schoolie monster · 10-11-2002, 08:52 AM

No problem... I figure this may be gettin' towards the end for us locally and plan on hitting it as much as I can this weekend.

I don't know if the weather will cooperate, but I'm hoping to get out in the boat a couple times (starting this afternoon) and down to the south shore with eels a night or two.

Fisherwoman · 10-11-2002, 09:20 AM

Specialist, TOTALLY AWESOME!!!! Nice work you deserve it. Time on the water and great teachers can't be beat. We all have learned alot from this board, Thanks goes out to JOHNR!!!

TheSpecialist · 10-11-2002, 02:58 PM

Schoolie Good Luck. That place has not been good to me. I got 1 fish out of there, and a treble in the pinkie as well.

Fisherwoman thanks. I can't wait for the show in the spring. I hope I will be able to learn some more from you and Bill.

Brooksie · 10-11-2002, 04:55 PM

NICE FISH!

BasicPatrick · 10-11-2002, 06:56 PM

Nice Fish Bill,

I hope you weighed it for the club. There are fish right here up the street from me just like that, I hope to see you there soon.

Patrick

TheSpecialist · 10-12-2002, 11:15 AM

Patrick I weighed it in with Ron. He gave me a state weighslip he said that was alright. What should I put on it, and is it alright to just bring it to the meeting. There is no address for the tournament director on the site.

RickBomba · 10-12-2002, 06:58 PM

Billy,
Nice job dude!!!
Got back from Aruba like 30 min ago, and WOW!!!
Maybe I should've stayed here and fished (although me and the wifey did pretty good). I had a very big bull shark that one gulped like a 25 # wahoo @ one point; couldn't turn him on 50 # two speed in a chair.
Anyhow, I still like yours better.
I'll send you my new email in a week or so.
The moving begins on Friday.
Later,
Rick

TheSpecialist · 10-12-2002, 07:24 PM

Thanks Rick. Bull Shark

That must have been an awsome sight.

Don't forget that email bud. Congrats on the new house.

thill · 10-13-2002, 04:13 PM

Specialist,

Congrats on a real beauty! I hope it is just as good on the grill as it was on the end of the line! Twice the pleasure!

Been there, done that! Also came back when the game was a lot tougher.
