It is NOT his schedule, it IS his Effort.

I have the best schedule and can't catch a fish in 2016 on many trips so far ....

[mckenzie]

this fish would have weighed more if there
weren't so many holes in its head.

Hey thanks bert, I appreciate that. I knew it was big when it came to color. Did not think it would be 44 til we put it on the scale.

I only got back a 1/3 of the fish so lets do the math:

22"s of fish left x 3=66"s
Left over part of fish weighed 18 pounds x 3 = 54#s

[GregAndrew]

Damn nice fish Tony! Hard to argue with your math skillz. And to think that I was going to post this measley 32#er.

Lieutenant Dan, Where are the legs?

[FISH11]

Look at it this way Tony the Seal only took the part you were going to discard anyway the guts and the tail section. He did leave you some meat on the ribs. Sucks, he also took the collars.

[roby]

Mark referred to a seal? I was there....you had some early sashimi.

What was amazing was how you posed for that picture with a straight face. Greg is too humble, but that measley 32lber was also the jackpot winner on the Islander.

Wellllllllllllll, there is only one yellow tail picture missing from a particular kayaker, I won't say who it is but his name rhymes with Roby. Hopefully, this kayaker will post the pic of his monster yellow tail

[tstephens3232]

June submission/first submission. 41lbs bleed out. The other one was 36 ... Correction... Calibrated my scale... 39lbs and 34lbs

[theluckypig]

the beast master! :cheers1:

[tstephens3232]

Picked this one up off of La Jolla a few days ago. 40" 32lbs... Correction... Calibrated my scale this weekend using Tony's halibut. I'm 2lbs heavy. So bring this one down to 30lbs.

[HobieOneCanoebe]

What an awesome fish!

[HobieOneCanoebe]

Why won't it let me post an attachment of my photo. I just posted it under fishing reports and it is now saying "you have already used this image" and won't let me upload it to wcw. I went in and changed the file name with no luck. Can anyone explain this because if you really can't post in fishing reports and also in wcw there is a problem. This sight has so many glitches and problems with its formatting already I really wouldn't doubt it. Every time I log in it gives me an error message and I finally figured out if I click back and forum very quickly it will log me in, this is not supposed to happen. So please, for the sake of this awesome idea, use some of that advertising money and hire a real programmer who has worked with high volume sites.

[ful-rac]

It's not that hard master hobieone....upload to photobucket, click image link, paste onto your post.

Let the force be with you.

Oh by the way post up your tape shot.

[HobieOneCanoebe]

thanks brotha! My fault but is there a help line I can email next time so i don't have to post?

[FISH11]

You can also fool the software from OEX by editing the photo slightly, like crop it a bit smaller and change the file name or number. Hope that helps.

I know I'll get beat by exactly 2 lbs this month, maybe more. Maybe there will be an internet outage late in the month and I'll get lucky :D

Mikey,

I sure thought that fish was going to be high 30's... Nonetheless, awesome catch and pair for that matter.
