Can't fish anymore this month so I figured I'd motivate some others to get out on the water.

Only one fish to submit.....but she was a nice one.

63.8 lb. WSB on the certified scale at Dana Landing.

57 1/2 " fork length.

On bait.

4/15/11

One hell of a fight. I instantly knew this fish was either something special or it was the wrong kind.

Now lets see if the darkhorse has a slam to submit this month. :rolleyes: On that note, I'll put in my quick plug for Josh. I've only been fishing LJ for a little less than 2 years but I've had pretty solid results for the number of times I'm actually able to get out on the water. I waited about 6 months to hire Josh and what I've learned in just a few trips with him has accelerated my fishing I.Q. and overall production to the next level. Obviously, you must put time on the water, but the little things I've learned have been invaluable. I may have figured some things out on my own. Others, I would have never figured out. Take from it what you want, but 'the maestro' knows LJ and he is willing to share his knowledge.

Only thing is, if you're competing against him, don't let him near your trophy fish once you gaff it. He had his pliers out ready to bleed that fish in no time. :the_finger:

[old_rookie]

WOw!!!

That grin says it all.

Didn't even know there was a MB Marlin Club to take a catch for weighing.

Would be a funny pic to see the tail of that beast hanging out the back of the car as you drive away.

Congrats!!!

[THE DARKHORSE]

Oh come on---the first thing I said when I saw her wrapped below the boat was: "she's the right size, lets not do anything stupid". If I really wanted to win this thing, I could have wrapped my rudder on your line, by accident :D.

Seriously, though, it couldn't have happened to a nicer guy. I was stoked to cut her gills for you---and what's a few ounces on a fish like this?

MOO MOO

:cheers1:
and great start to the WCW with a real whopper
:wsb:

[Whizz Bang]

I do not feel bad for watching you hook up, fight that fish, and take pictures without my help, I was coming off of 7 months in Afghanistan and I am pretty sure that was my fish, but I am not in the WCW so maybe it was yours, maybe. What a beauty. Well done.

If you weren't such a nice guy, and the only one of my friends who sent me a care package in afghanistan, and if you had not of been letting me borrow your bait tank (which I have still not returned because my switch went out), and if you had not of went out of your way to drive over to my place just to give me some of your fillets of wsb, I would probably have something mean to say about you. Probably.

Post script... I will get your tank back to you soon.

Post post script...... Thanks for the fillets, they were delicious.

[ortiznsd]

That is what you call hitting it BIG.
A fish of a lifetime! WTG:reel:
