OMG there have been some SLOBS taken in the past week :shock:
Way to go !!

I thought Johnny was up at skool during the week. If he "skipped" for a 400, wonder if he could get a "pass".

Nice job.

We got one about 220 lbs last night. Fish ate the shallow tip rod, a very large rainbow runner.

Fish got totally wrapped up in leader and came in tail first in about 35 minutes.

I heard a buoy boat saying he had 8 fish in the boat... :shock:

Mr. Birkman is lovin' life!!!!!!!!! I've had the pleasure and honor to fish with him(and Mazz a few trips) over 25 or so trips over the summer and fall.... I cannot tell you guys how much knowledge this kid has of Swordfish and the water. He's taught me a lot(almost everything I know) and has told me stories about this fish being lost at the boat... for the past 6 year, this is the one he was looking for and he finally put the steel through her!! WTG bro!
Congrats Bullfighter and Mazz too!!!
