Woo! Great job Alien!  I wanted to head out today but I'm teaching Saturday summer school classes... :smt012  My buddy/coworker/NCKA lurker (yeah you Ryan!) called me while I was in class to say that he'd just caught a 29" butt off MBK and "that Alien guy" from the group had caught a monster on his first drop!  Of course I congratulated him while silently cursing my obligation to work and earn money...  Great job out there you guys!  :smt004

WTG Alex... you seem to find the big one down there. I still remember the one that won that derby... end to end, those two buts give you about 85" of great eats.

Merry wedding to you Alex!

That sucker refused to be calmed.  Alien was putting the hickory on target but their brain must be like a pebble in cast iron pot.

the irony is that my fish bashers have only bashed other peoples butts.  Some day I will get to bash my own butt :smt044

on the beach are two groups, the ones to the left are the NCKA class.

Dude! Awesome hali! 

This fish was caught so close to the shop/harbor it's hard to believe.

You must have been so juiced with adrenaline. :smt003
