    I set a goal over 15 yrs ago for 28+ and I finally got it. Believe me, I have thrown back my fair share. I am a catch an release guy. My wife has to fight to keep anything near 20″. My new goal is 30+. Maybe a replica next time.

    Was on Gull in 11′ of water off of a tip-up and sucker minnow at 9:00 PM. I thought it was an eelpout at first. The shoreline heard me yell.

    Josh

    Its about time you got the pics posted!! When I answered the phone Wednesday night, first thing you said was “I’m feeling pretty good tonight”. My first thought was you’d had a few cocktails!! Then you told me the story. Glad to see you stuck to ur guns with the 28” rule!! Can’t wait to see the mount

    Congrats

    Jeez, after reading that sad story about God getting a bird dog, this got me back on track. Thats a haus for sure. Funny that the people on shore could hear you yell. Good luck on 30+

    … Great Fish…!!!…

    I’m beginning to think maybe I should have taken some more detailed info on my sons 26″ last year…even though he’s only eight that would have been a cool thing to do.. have a replica made…

    Oh well…we’ve got LOTS and LOTS of years of fishing left.. again great fish..looking forward to seeing the mount..
