Pretty fish BS. Some of those have been washing up dead on NC shores recently which is interesting since I didn't even think they are supposed to be anywhere close to here.

What did he bite?

[bigshrimpin]

Nah . . . She got a Fellowship to study in France for 9 months :) and then she'll be done with her PHD . . . I'm overwhelmed with the possibilities and I'm excited to move back east or south when she returns.

[msbhammer]

Bigshrimp might move back East. COOL. ;D ;D
Where in the East. I feel another v20 get together when you do so. ;)

[C YENSEN]

Nice fish man, i have always wanted to catch one too ;D

[Airslot]

CY, do you know that we have them locally? They are caught in the bay every year...

[C YENSEN]

heard it, just never had a chance to go looking for them :-/

have you ever caught one in the Ches Bay?

[charlie_the_tuna]

i caught one in jones beach inlet a million years ago.
didnt know they were protected so we brought it home and threw it on the grill.
one of the best tasting fish i ever ate.

[Blue_Runner]

Dang Charlie, you should have at least gutted it before you grilled it :o

[TunaHead]

BS, whats up with your commercial salmon licence?

[bigshrimpin]

Still in the transfer process. It should be complete for July 1st when the areas open up again. I had to put it on my other boat :) cause of some title issue w/DMV. The red boat was built in 1972 and has a 4 digit HIN number. DMV can't process a 4 digit HIN even thought I gave them a good title, 10 years of CA registrations, and a receipt for every dollar spent on the boat for the last 10 years. Major PIA . . . Luckily I have another boat (black Seacraft CC) . . . so now I'll have both boats registered as commercial, but the salmon permit is going to be on the center console :-/ which sucks.

[macojoe]

Yes since you spent all that time getting the red one ready!!

[reelapeelin]

Careful fishin/boatin' in Sturgeon populated waters...yesterday I heard about a woman hospitalized after bein' CRUSHED by a 200+ lber that jumped into her boat :o ...

[bigshrimpin]

LOL!!

[schmahlworld]

Thats a dandy! finally a fish I reconize. We fish thema bunch here on the columbia river. that looks like a tasty keeper to me. The oversize are in the river right now. (over 5 ft as you only can keep em between 42 and 60" here) been catchin 6 to 10 footers. cant keep em but I love takin new guys out and watchin them get beat up by a fish for 45 minits. ive never landed one bigger than 10' but there are a few reachin 16-18ft seen feedin on shad up at bonniville dam. couple weekends ago I hooked what felt like a nuclear submarine. It broke my 130# dacron leader right in the middle. I use 150# mainline for these brutes with a ugly stick rod and a shimano TLD 20 reel. Good times!!
thats a classic picture of you two kissin. I love it!

[dragn3]

[Mac_Attack]
