I might have to set out the trollers soon. i found a great new color to try on the rigs. Big hammer "silver phantom". This looks like a killer. the booth at fred hall said they are sold out of 3" the first day of the show!!!

Oh yea...I rolled these in tempura and served them over steam rice and some edamame...Ponzu sauce anyone?!

Nice Catch!

The big one was around 7 lbs, but looked bigger. I thought i had a 10 lbrer when he hit the deck. the dog weighs 19lbs, karin terrier.
might have been a legal size croaker!! ALMOST

There is no way the dog weighs more than 18lbs.



Oh, nice striper!!

LOL>>>The reel is a calyx 100a, not the bantam100 you are thinking about...this is like its modern day version. A great deal at 59'99!!
the birds nest was more like some twisted line spinning off a the reel, wasn't too bad. Looked worse than it was.
the dog helps me subdue the stripers and occasional kitty cats!! Gills are his favorite.
