Oh I get it. Us old timers never spoke of inches. If it wasn't 15# we didn't even mention it. I know, times have changed. This guy stopped me at the Canal last night and inquired as to how I did. I told him I had a couple of mid-teens and one around 20. He said "wow, those are small fish. I said "really, since when is a 20# fish a small fish? He said OH, I thought your were talking inches.  |

yup.. schoolies were schoolies... students or rats.. back when 16" was a "keeper".. 10 -15lbs means they were mediums.. and that was only for market terms..... everyone I knew called 'em bulls... not cows when they got worth talking about( and of coarse no one did until after the fact)... even if they were female.... |
A good run is better than a bad stand!

I'm usually in on Mother's Day but this year my boat is still in storage in NH. I'll go get it next Friday. I need to touch up the bottom paint and maybe have it in the water the following week. It's been one of those Springs.

yeah, well I get excited anytime anything starts tugging at the end of my line, never really bothered to weigh my fish, just always made sure they were over 28". Maybe because I never caught any fish worth mentioning....lol

Except for a quick boat trip with a friend a few weeks ago, I haven't even sniffed the salt. I only just cleaned up my gear...
