photo of the month

[alantani]

The fish on the right of the photo is about 5 lbs bigger than the one on the left. It's hard to tell because of the angle the fish was held.

congratulations!!!!!

Sam Adams, 6-yr old Striper fisherman, has become a bit of a celebrity at the NJ shore. He's my nephew's kid. He and the fish were almost exactly the same weight and height. The story is a few weeks old now, he's been all over the news.

Congratulations to Sam, he did a great job handling that fish.
You must be proud...good stuff!
I'm sure this one will make photo of the month when the boss gets back

Good job Sam.

Thanks for the love, guys! I've forwarded a screenshot of the page (and link) to Sam's father and grandparents. Sam's been fishing for 1/3 of his 6-year old life (the last third  ). They go to the Outer Banks every summer and surf fish for sharks. He's got more experience with a rod and reel than most any 6-yr old you can find. And he's fishing-crazed, like his grandfather.

would have been funny to get a picture of him hanging by the belt loops on that scale!

Guess this answers the age old question:

"Is it animal, vegetable, or mineral?"

All three!

Best,
