I mean literally, TONS! We had approximately 350-375 fish, probably averaging 15-20 pounds each, which equates to somewhere between two and three tons of the darn things... insane!

Great bunch of guys, lots of good fellowship and new friends will make for many lasting memories. Didn't take pictures, too busy losing fish to the <bleeping> sea dogs, but Alan and many others were photographing everything in sight, so be patient, I'm sure they'll be posting 'em soon.   

As the saying goes, despite some rockin' and rollin' on Thursday night, a good time was had by all!  :D

I don't suffer from insanity... I enjoy every minute of it!  :D

Well, I did land my first few on a 501... then decided that was way too much work and switched to an Avet 2-speed... low gear, rail, crank, gaff... Oh, the humanity!  ::)

I take it those beautiful earrings did their job. Looking forward to the pics. Hope we get you, the earrings and a nice fish all in the same pic! ;D

Congrats on a safe and successful trip.

Gotta rearrange my bucket list and do this trip.

You got a couple on a 501? All I remember is the pink Avet on the pink wrapped rod, and you were hooked up a lot!

Mark, yup! I guess you were too busy catching to notice, but I got my first few on that 501 with the blue AccuPlates I got from Randy.  :)

Oh yeah, I remember the blue Accuplates!  I didn't know it was a 501.

You didn't test the 155?
Hi, my name is Lee and I have a fishing gear problem.

I have all of the answers, yup, no, maybe.

Looking good Mike, that's a nice one.
Alan, I hope no one stepped on your toes ;D. Can't wait for some more pics, I'm glad you are all back safe.
Forget about all the reasons why something may not work. You only need to find one good reason why it will.

I guess it is difficult to describe a good time.  I suppose you had to be there.  Good for all of you on that trip.  It does look like you all enjoyed it.  Dominick
Leave the gun.  Take the cannolis.

There are two things I don't like about fishing.  Getting up early in the morning and boats.  The rest of it is fun.
