Watching my brother come out of the head on the Cuttyhunk Ferry after the thing exploded all over him!
I didn't catch too many big fish this year, so that was cool for me.
The other was sticking a whole Bud bottle down the gullet of a good fish that Mikey got in Ct right at the beginning of the season.
Boy was he surprised when he cut open the stomach!
Later,
Rick

Taking a bunch of kids fishing at Lake Winnepisaukee (?) this summer
and having them all catch fish. Although it's not about big fish, it is about another generation of potential fishing buddies to carry the torch into our future.

mine was probably the event that made me hang it up for the season..

sittin on the jetty. laying into dogfish after dogfish.. some big ones atleast.. (better than nothing)
any way.. gettin ready to wrap it up. i get a hit.. oh joy another dog.. so i reel em up.. then i feel what appears to be seaweed or the like weighing my line down. turns out it's a lobster.. it apparently really liked my weight.. to the point where it had it grasped (still did) for long enough to get all shades of wrapped up in my line. ok not a problem, happens with crabs and lobsters all the time.. except, he managed to get wrapped up about 40 ft up the line from my hook.. and i got decent doggy pulling away on the end... so some how my buddy managed to untangle the litte bugger with all the tension on the line.. and both got thrown back to go about being stupid..

now that's not all that great.. but i kept thinking "oh man this would be my nightmare situation if i have a decent fish on!" though i suppose a decent fish would have ended up cutting/snapping the claw right off with the braid..

but after the way everything had been going it was one of those perfect ways to end the season. it sums up the frustration of the last 3months there. and gives me a decent chuckle.
