Two confirmed very large fish!

[Flaptail]

Two sixties in a day is a feat, course, you all know my feelings on live bait and from a boat to boot. The hard part was getting the bait.

George, some people have a dire need for noteriety, thus hanging meat on a hook outside a tackle shop. It verifies for them a need to be seen and noticed, chest thumping so to say. Incessant picture taking of every bass is, well...... "Hey look at me". I know, I went through that stage, it will pass. It brings more grief than anything else. Really good fishermen keep their mouths shut and ears open and no one really knows what they are catching, where and when and how. They know and they don't talk.

You and I know what we have been doing and I know that like me, you wear a smile when you go into a shop and someone asks you how you have been doing and you say, "alright" and end it there.

Now all these big bass on a plug would be a real angling feat.

And lastly those guys wouldn't really understand what it is to release 3 50's in a night, not yet at least. I lost count of all the fish I could have registered for the Cup, you know you were with me and that's all the statisfaction I need.

Moon was pretty coming up from the east over my left shoulder last night all orange with the wind on my right cheek and the added the sound of a screaming drag and it was near perfect.

Flap, you are so full of it I think you need higher boots.....Maybe you should take more pics....you may be more credible with the proof... unnecessary personal attack - edited by JR .........Its easy to take a digital camara to the beach and snap a shot of all these so called cows....

60s go in the cooler...

So do 50's



Nothing, I repeat NOTHING, beats a live bunker for slob sized bass.

Back here in NJ, I took two 50's in 11 months on live bunkers and didn't regret keeping them. It was the payoff for all the money spent, all the days I went to work with no sleep, all the arguments with da'wife, and all the years chasing them. Would I keep another one? Depends on the situation/condition of the fish.

Glad to see you guys finding the bunkers up there, enjoy it while it lasts, and lets hope they stay around a while.

I would hate to be known as the "champion of unverifiable stories" and without a weigh in now and then, thats exactly what you are.. "I lost count of all the fish I could have weighed in for the cup" Bull%$%$%$%$.........Its easy to take a digital camara to the beach and snap a shot of all these so called cows....

e#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&....here you are just plain wrong. If Flap says he caught and released without a photo.... I have no problems believing him...none at all.
I`ve caught a few decent surf fish(30s)and have no pics and released all but one.... nothing unusual here.Not everyone ,whether in a tourney or not keep and kill all their fish....in fact I think many release.

Its good for the Striped Bass

Well yeah, but that wasn't the drag, that was my Newell's tired bearings. And to be honest with you, I'd rather have rain, snow, bugs, wind, plauge, and pestilence if it brought a few of those #60's over my way.

#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&, I've seen Flap catch a lot of good fish and he is probably the best plug fisherman I know. He ought'a be, given how long and hard he has been fishing. I don't think, however, that he considers fishing a competitive sport.
