You have to wrap your mind around the fact that you are doing this because somewhere in the part of your makeup that you might not talk about, you get a thrill from hunting and killing.

I don't know if I ever want to piss off any of you guys who can lip a 50

I've also caught fish that had deformed jaws. They survived whatever deformed them and obviously were still able to feed.

about lipping is what happens as a result of it. Dislocation, etc.

1 Farthest schoolie put

2 biggest cow-splash

3tightest spin on a bluefish

4 modified hammer toss with dogfish
