Geez, John, sorry to hear you had to work up a sweat on that fish - seriously

Damn, I've been skunked before but I think that's the first time I've ever been racooned

Nice FISH goosefish.................................

Over the Last Several Years HAB'S NEEDLEFISH Have Caught More "Confirmed" 30, 40, 50, and even 60 pound Striped Bass than any other Wooden Needlefish on the Market today. 2 Over 50lbs. and 1 Over 60lbs. in 2005 alone........... "HOOK UP WITH HAB'S" Your Best Bet For BIG BASS.....

Got an 18# last nite fishing Up Yonder -

Got it on an eel but it sure looked like a Habs in the water...

Crafty- hit across the end of that road like we discussed earlier. Wound up getting 3 4 pound bluefish on ONE spook. Didn't know WTH I had going on because at one point I saw stripes come out of the water, then I get close in and one blue comes unglued, so I only have two on, get the next one gone but the last one will need some whiskey on the gums for a few days...

Two bass just after dark on Slug-go, not far from home.

The waves were incredible. A set of three waves came and washed over the rock I was standing on. I moved before the waves arrived, the odd thing is... these waves had no buisness being that big. Over another two hours, I never saw another set like'em.

I'm not sure if I fear or respect the ocean... probably both.

Duuuuuuuude.....nice one, Eben

This will go well with the Habmeister - I dunno, Eben, this could also make you Hab's Angler of the Year so far....

With sandeels back in numbers - even in Newport, which we haven't seen since probably the late 70's - it looks like Habs rules.

It must be good to be the King, Habs
