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

And who's vintage Penn did the most damage? ;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 gotta do what you gots to do Big T. I can't wait to see the pics of Aiala getting it done.
I'm, glad you guys made it back safe. ;D
Damn.. that sounds like good times
Looking forward for the pics
I just made it home to South GA. Cross country flights.....ugh!
Had a great time on the trip. And caught my share of YT. I'll post some pics after a LONG nap.

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.
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
Hoping for some action shots. 8)
All the reel talk around here and only Aiala's and Porthos' reports mention equipment. Us gear geeks are going 'wut'?
It's tough living vicariously thru these wordy reports. ;D ;D Sal's updates on SS stuff are longer. (Thanks Sal).
Glad to hear you had fun!
Wow, Cor, you do realize this trip was almost a year ago?
And less than a month for the 2016 trip!!!!
