Ross was this your CPR for this month, nice. Had one in the current a few years back that kept me wondering, hoping.

Congratulations. How heavy was the rock?

[blitzburgh]

That's purdee :cheers1:

[jorluivil]

that's pretty cool.

I hate to ask but are those legal to keep? That would be a cool addition to a salt water aquarium

[Zed]

I think you need a collection permit like teachers use for instruction.

[MrPatrick]

Definitely not a hook 'em and cook 'em species.

[GregAndrew]

I hate when those bite my perfectly good bait, and I have to just throw them back.. Next one I catch is getting cooked and placed on a bed of kelp.

It was an epic fight. She grabbed my Carolina rigged mackerel and headed straight for the bottom. Couldn't get her head turned until I got right over top of her. For a while I thought she had swum into cave and I had lost her. Because of the sensitivity of my spectra, I could tell she was still there. I finally got her head turned and it was over. She seemed to give up at that point because all the fight was gone. No gaff needed. She knew was beaten.

I won't give you the exact numbers but I was 61 ft of water about 1.63 miles from the DP harbor entrance. Water temp was 60.7.

They're out there. Go getem boys!

Just epic, Ross seems 2014 is YOUR YEAR! Another PB for you, what is next??

[rossman]

Forget about the YEAR. Yesterday I was out walking my dog and found $25 in the grass. Then I got a message from Drake telling me that I had won the raffle for the day and a half Islander trip. Today's PB was the cherry on top. All in all a pretty good week.

This is the best report I've seen in a long time. Someone's bound to ruin it :D

[FISH11]

Looks like an underwater Banzai tree. I bet it was like reeling in a small boulder.

[steveooo]

Sheesh. There goes the neighborhood :mad:

[Amish Ed]

Ah, the elusive Granite Grouper. Hope you didn't have to puncture it's air bladder to get it back down.

[easyday]

Almost positive I saw you guys as I was heading out on the cattle boat today.

[cabojohn]

Congrats Rossman!
That's a great picture. :)
Z, you should frame that one and give it to your dad for Christmas.

How'd the big boat do Josh?
