It's time more people spoke up with the truth. Every time we let a leftist lie go uncorrected, the commies get stronger.

Didn't break 30 lbs this year, but caught plenty of fish in the 20's plugging and, more importantly, had a blast doing it.

My season sounded a lot like Bart's. Biggest one was about 25lbs on a plug. Spent a lot of time with the fly rod, caught a ton of schoolies, and decent size blues. Also got a good amount of snook in FL. Trying to get back down south for some Tarpon this winter.

32.75# officially, was the biggest I weighed. I don't think I released anything bigger, altho it's possible  
I did the "early release" thing on a couple of possibles, too.  |

I came close to the 30# mark but I don't think I passed it. I can't be sure because the only fish over 20#'s that I kept was 40" and 25 pounds. I did have a few fish in the 43-44" range. Most likely just high twenties.

I had 3 fish over 25 lbs. this year, biggest being 27.5
Considering I had never caught one 25 or better before this year, I gotta say I'm happy w/ this year.
30 lb'er next years goal

Ken, its cruel to text me pics of slobs, while Im at work  But keep em coming  
I managed close to a dozen bass from the surf over 30lbs this season, mostly from 2 runs of fish in Aug. and Oct.
I dont think any of those were over the mid-30lb range. Still holding out for a 40 this year  |

I caught some nice fish, much bigger in RI and Mass than ME. I still want the real big one. And almost all on my plugs or teasers.

There is only one theory about angling in which I have perfect confidence, and this is that the two words, least appropriate to any statement, about it, are the words "always" and "never."

I fished all surf , all plugs , and my best this year was a 25lber. The friggin blues were monsters but i hate the @#%$& things now! They were fun in August and September when we were having trouble with bass, but they stuck it out all through October, and got in the way of some good cow opportunities. I mean every pod of bunker we found was loaded with the friggin things, even at night a few times too.
Oh well , I cant complain, I had alot of fun this year, and I'm not done yet.

I am at the point as long as I am catching fish and fishing with people I enjoy I really don't give a rat's ass how big the fish are. Big fish, small fish it's all fun especially if you match the gear to the situation. I especially like to fish by myself and when bigger fish are caught on a lonely beach with no one around it's even better. I did not keep one fish this year or last, the big ones suck to eat and the little juicy ones can't be kept. After a while dead fish pictures all look the same and then you have to get rid of the things if you don't eat them. I only contemplated one fish going home but Numbskull told me it wasn't worth it and he was right, I just hope the next guy who hooks the old girl feels the same. Had a great year that's for sure and it has not ended yet as I will be out tonight, just hope next year is as good and the beach thing opens up. Dang sealage.
