piemma · 10-18-2009, 11:34 AM

What if you are with me? Does it still count?

numbskull · 10-18-2009, 12:15 PM

HAH! Game on. I'd claim it as a 40 but I forgot my funnel, so I'm going with 2 lbs (you can round up, right?). Thank God I had a ZB25 and 11ft rod to stop her.....otherwise she would have blown away.

tattoobob · 10-18-2009, 12:20 PM

Your dog thinks it's a salty popsicle

Numbskull is our official leader...the rest of you tire kickers had better get to work...btw George, you forgot the

but I'll accept your entry nontheless..

numbskull · 10-19-2009, 11:46 PM

OK, OK, it is kinda puny (13 lbs), but it was a nice night and I was happy to get it and I'm trying to be nice to the peripatetic eel-guy who is trying to give away a plug he has no use for but everybody is ignoring. Really, 13 lbs, even if my fatass makes it look smaller.

BassDawg · 10-20-2009, 04:33 AM

just saw yer thread,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
thanks for the "opportunity"~~

fumifish · 10-20-2009, 07:47 PM

numbskull and the parrot plugs... those bass must really like em

Rmarsh · 10-21-2009, 05:35 AM

My personal best caught last night, 10/20 on a large eel.
Caught from shore somewhere in buzzards bay.

Was just about to quit for the night and was thinking maybe the season was over for me.

Sure am glad my fishing buddy kept me going, telling me not to give up saying "It ain't over till the fat lady sings". Thanks Rich

Weighed 38# and 47" long.

P.S. I have a couple of AH lures, they are extremely well made.
Would love to add another to my bag.

Slipknot · 10-21-2009, 06:55 AM

Excellant! nice going there.

I'd have had to put many fish together from last night to come close to yours.

Check Numby's left butt cheek closely when you get the opportunity...perhaps you'll find the missing hook .

Excellent fish - Congrats on the PB

BassDawg · 10-21-2009, 12:17 PM

that's a BEAUTY, RMarsh!!!

congrats on the pb and taking the lead!

Rmarsh · 10-21-2009, 06:36 PM

Thanks everyone: for the kudos on my PB.

If I had to bet on it...I would saythat it won't hold up until Thanksgiving.

Although I seriosly doubt that I can top that myself, I'm heading out again tommorow night to try anyway.

Good luck, dress warm, and have fun!

PS: Sorry, Back Beach, for all those multiple fishslaps,

and thanks for the offer of the eel hooks. I fish plugs alot too and the AfterHours
lure is what Id like if I win

Any pics of what they might be?
