Sweet fish George... hard to believe you didn't keep it .....keep up the good work...

A good run is better than a bad stand!

Very nice bass. Gotta love how those bottle plugs dig in and swim.
Congrats on a beautiful fish.

1 @ 32 Pledge. Our beloved Striped Bass are in trouble AGAIN.

I fished through the lean years and don't want to live through another collapse of the stock.

2 fish @ 28" is ridiculous.

Great fish George, great release as well!

Man, you Falmouth guys catch some small fish....Numbskull must have mentored you.

Post up some specifics with regard to the tackle these fish were caught on and we'll declare a leader. Hopefully your drags were fully locked.

Good lord, we might need a new category. Please tell me the line was 50# test and your drag was locked.

Guys, we need the line test and type you used to go along with your entries before I declare a leader. The Numby award is no joke, thus we need all the pertinent details to aid the decision making.

I'm gonna declare JD our leader in the Numbskull division given he overpowered that schoolie with 50# test despite having a slightly shorter rod than capecodkid.

Thanks for the entries guys, this is shaping up to be a barnburner....

Just to be clear the leading entry for our Numbskull division is:

Johnny Ducketts

15" fish

50# test line and leader.

9' rod.

Your sartorial shyness is disappointing.
Nice fish though.
Did it eat Superstrike darter?

If I have more than one board members as a witness can we use that as proof? Doesn't matter but caught a bluefish smaller than the darter I was using. That would have been the ultimate Numby Award Winner. 1213M and Abu 7000 on 65 LB Braid. Poor guy lost an eye in the fight.

Nice Biteme, real nice. I had a similar colored surfster maybe 15 years ago
that caught like crazy one year when nothing else worked. I'll have to pull it
out again this year.
