Holy smokes, now that's one heck of a Christmas present from Poseidon. Well deserved Arthur, I know you've been chasing that fish for a long time.
My family thank you for the huge gift basket that came to our door on Christmas Eve.
Congrats on a fantastic catch and have a great New Year my brother.

Congratulations Commander!! Seems like God and Dana were looking out for you. Your optimism and indomitable spirit are what put you on that fish. It doesn't seem like some random luck to me. Its too consistent. What a GREAT way to start 2016. I hope to see more of you, and more fish!!!! All my best to you in the coming year...

Congratulations Arthur on the Striped Bass.

I was completely amazed when I saw that Striper come out of the water. I couldn't believe my eyes.
I tried to say something but nothing would come out of my mouth. haha
Then we started running, I never ran so fast in my life.
I've been hearing you talk about this fish for years and now it's a reality. Congratulations bro, you deserved it.

Congrats on finally landing the elusive jailbird! With all your epic catches in the past 7 years you were finally due!
Sorry to hear about the rough year. Sometimes I think God presents us with these moments as inspiration to find happiness when times are tough.
Hope you and your beautiful family have a happy new year.

Arthur, I saw this report on another forum and had to come over here and say, CONGRATS!! That is so awesome. I hope to hook one someday.

By "striped" I thought you meant skunked. Silly me. Congrats and welcome to the Trojan family!
