Countin'Down w/da'FatLady&My Real_BestBuddies@ChinaCamp Sat/27

Adam-

I'm very happy for you... finally. I guess you don't have to bow down to Melissa anymore. I'm sure that'll make her very happy too. She's over my shoulder right now and she wants me to congrat you for her. That way she doesn't have to log on for herself. She's feeling a little lazy right now. Anyways, you have a couple of days to recharge your batteries for 09.

Thought for sure this went in the slot, but with Allens help, turned out to be less than 2" shy... very frisky fish.

  You caught me ("with Allen's help").......I cut three inches off your fish's tail and glued it on Adam's

Man you AOTY guys are relentless...nice dinos Adam and Ben.  Keep up the effort in '09!

Ben dont let PETA see that shot. That will be the new sea kitten propaganda mascot to keep youngsters away from fishing. Adam , nice fish! You guys really slugged it out on Saturday. When I was coming back over the Richmond bridge on Friday it was just sunny and warm and flat. Saturday was  totally different.You can eat Kingfish , can't ya?  

Awesome report and pictures once again Mr. FisHunter. Congrats on the sturgeon
Adam and Ben. I'm glad you guys had some action while battling the elements.

Applause to you guys.
Ya know Adam, you have a full two weeks after the catch to post.
I might have waited until 11:55 New Years Eve. I would have used the last 5 minutes for a little wiggle room. 

Things are look'n up in SP bay, congrats to you both, looks damn cold in those pics, I'm still look'n for some fleece undies before I go out again....

You guys earn your FISH,,,,

[/quotePETA can kiss my ass, nothing wrong with this shot, I tailed it, took the hook out and let it go.

way to go dude!

I'm heading out for the afternoon outgo today...

Adam-  You earned that fish, bro.  All that whistlin' and bitchin' out on the water has paid off!  Well done... 
Good fishin', fellas...

I think we spent the very first Sturg attempt of the year together at OAP, in horrible condtions Nate.....and i think I was Bitchin' then too!  

that is a very lucky sturgeon caught in the slot and then released!

you know how I roll Chris.....one released fish, karmas' me another! (sometimes anyway)

Adam-

Thanks you two(especialy you Freddie, for giving up early )! I thought WE were all in for it, when Melissa got that first one of the season and then you too!
.. and as for showing my respectful bows,you mean she doesn't like when i do that? She will always be the SturgGoddess of NCKA, whether you like it or not, but I'll stop if you want.

ravenB~ it was VERY COLD!....but a wierd thing happened, as soon a hook'd and released that thing, my hands&feet thawed out and the cold transformed into fuzz&warmth!

Applause to you guys.

a journey it has been.....and I would have never even attempted some of the trips I did, without the Help&Buddymanship of our great family we have here.
&yourLINGZILLAwasANinspirationALLyearLONG

once again! Thanks to all who followed,laughed&participated!
as we all tried to "OUT-FUN" each other.   

This is my LAST PIC. to post for the year!!
I let it suckle back to life on my thumb for about 5min...then it kick'd it's tail and bolted away!

Adam, talk about a hail mary fish, we were bitching about not feeling our hands and feet anymore and dreaming of next year and we kept on saying...5 more minutes, and slammo, didnt even throw your anchor.
And about my undersized fish, thats the most it came out of the water, right before the release so he got a good slide to the depths.
Good thing we didnt post the baby sturgeon juggling video. THAT would have been embarrassing.

i was hoping you would post some of the Vid. you took of it...if you actually did vid?   the jugglin'&bendoin' 
and if that wudn't the "MOTHERofALL" HailMarys!!
andWEprovedTHATyou"CAN"bitch&MOANonTHEwater... and still have a good chance to hook one.   

ConGrats to all, nice fight to the end....

 Hunter,  WEll Done!!!!

 That pic of you with Mr Dino is most definitely goes down as "Biggest KnifeSmile with Dino"

 My Condolences to Mooch.....
