Here are the photos - sorry, I got fish slime on the lens for a few


Ethan and myself did grand battle royal but were actually low hook - Jake kicked *** and pulled in a few doubles and some real nice fish

Randy killed the big knot heads - he was about 1 oz shy of a pool winner

Capt. Todd was high hook with around 24 fish

Steptoo provided weights and moral - he ended up with about a dozen sweet looking bass

you show up and I will pay your fare
 
Looks like loads or fun!! I wish I wasn't so far away. Plus it looks cold, I do not think that I own as many close as ya'll have on.
 
It was a lot of fun, but a lot of work also. I got no sleep on the ride out and was beat from work on friday. While I was reeling in the first fish, I was thinking to myself....I don't know how long I can do this, but as the action heated up and I got warmed up, I got the hang of it pretty quick. My forearm and wrist are very sore today though. Randy caught some awesome fish, he is a beast. The weather was awesome, pretty calm and very little wind. Once the sun came out and we started catching fish, it was not hard keeping warm. I wish we would have taken more pics, but it was freakin cold and we were busy trying to fill the cooler.

It definately beat enduring another fishless weekend. Can't wait till next year :D

They are strong fighters and excellent eating fish

the season is just about to start - there are some big monster buck toothed beasts around
 
Man, those are ugly.... I'd be scared to bring one aboard :lol:

Are they rally good eaeting? My wife's never heard of them either... She buys Mahi Mahi, Orange Roughy, fillet of Sole, Tilapia, Grouper, but not much else.

If I had my choice, I stick to pan fried walleye or crappies, panfish & bass, perch & catfish - in that order. I'm not much for baked fish nor do I care much for red meat (salmon, trout, etc.)
 
Secret Weapon was Berkley Gulp Squid Spray, I did not notice any extra advantage. Except I did spray it in Todd's mouth while he was sleeping.
