This has been a very good season to me, lots of large. The only low for the year really was not getting out as much as i would have liked. But the times i did go out were really good, except 5 trips in august. That was a tough month. If i had to pick a high it was a couple weeks ago on block. Got into some good fish, the fishing slowed down and had a good time hanging with the block island crew.

Everything is better on the rocks.

Lows:
Not able to start fishing until Aug 1st due to work having me full time in DC for 4 mos.

Not being on the Bigfish must fish with list

Not catching a single bass over 20 lbs in the 6 weeks I actually did fish before the wind started up again.

Highs;

Highpoint= Had a good season and caught many fish in the hot summer.

Lowpoints = Getting surgery to remove a bass spine from my foot 2 weeks after it entered my foot. And wiping my behind with a used slimy 8x8 inch eel rag.

highs - having a kid

fishing highs - august new moon was good. nothing crazy, but a few really good nights. its really the only time i got out with any consistency all year since i took a few days off from work for it.

fishing lows - the weather and my schedule never really cooperated in september and october.

High: Catching and releasing back to back PBs (45 &46#s) and watching my fishing partner become more excited than me once each was weighed. I have the best fishing partner anyone could ask for and his humor and friendship keeps things interesting even on slow nights.

Low: Watching a fish waaaaaay bigger than the 46 (got close look at it w/ headlamp) break off very close to shore. This still hurts very badly and cant seem to get it out of my mind.I often think of what I could have done different in the last 15 seconds of fighting. I had 33 nights in the surf in 50 days and fished hard this year....it just hurts.

i thought he was messin with me when chris told me that ha

High: sure was. fishin with a lot of good people, putting approximately a billion miles on my car traveling from boston to the cape and back along the southern coast of ma and ri this season. keeping track of where and when pretty effectively. Delivering fish to people mainly family and cookin up some good dishes.
Specifically one day in september on the cape: perfect weather in the afternoon. t shirt and shades, shorts and water shoes, crazy blue and bass blitz action using my light rod fighting fish all afternoon. watching plugs seemingly explode on the water with my good buddie from high school. then going home and eating what was swimming an hour before. good times

Lows: only fishing on nantucket one day with no success due to a rediculous work schedule. Bustin my balls at the canal in the twilight only to leave for work at 6am before it blew up countless times during mid summer. my rod exploding in my hands during awesome action with a crazy swell with a fish hooked at my feet.

falling.... a lot. usually in front of friends for their enjoyement

Highs for me would have to be getting a call from ivanputski at 1am to get my a$$ out of bed on that august full moon night. Thanks for doing that dude. Great memories on that night. Also meeting a great fisherman from NY on BI. Thanks for taking time to share some of your knowledge with me and sending me all those sweet plugs.

Lows for the season I would have to say would be not taking enough trips out to BI.

Overall can't really complain got into alot of great fish and got to fish with some great people.

Good tides and tight lines.

Don't force it feel it.
