Great read and pics thanks a bunch for sharing!
-Wishes Charlotte was 3 hours closer to the ocean…-
Fishingman69 got it right, nice job and good on ya for getting out and then sharing with all. It matters not if a record was set, for what we do is for food and sport and being about the sport and passing it down is what its all about. Good on you all. CONGRATS!!!
Local Boy, Just having fun.
Good job on the snowy,the guy you tied with is a friend of mine and I remember when he caught his many years ago and I am sure if you would have got that little bit more he would fired up for you.Congratulations again and go beat the record while they still let us fish out there.
I’m jealous. Nice work!

I imagine beating the old record by 4oz would make a new record…problem being if it didn’t beat yours by 4oz, it would be tied with you for the record. Just a guess.
Either way, congratulations on some excellent fish and one of the best reports ever on this site. Perhaps consider a higher quality hefeweizen instead of Coors Light for something like that on a plate, btw.

So if it’s closed 240’+, are there snowies to be caught in 235’? Just a thought…

Good job on the grouper.
I have to ask you though why do you keep up the slander/libel regarding CCA?
You being a “lawyer” and all.
No one likes the closure buy what does one gain by slamming?
Just a thought lawyer.

cant beleave the ■■■■■ I caught for taking my 21cc out to blowing rock a few years ago on a perfect weather day, and you talking about swords in your boat! (If you don’t trust me stay on the hill!) congrats on the catch, what I want is the recipe, can trade some killer recipes for grouper if I need to! Don’t worry about the wannabees, keep posting, I will be down for a few months with shoulder surgery and need to be reading the comics, kill them while you can, Ed.
If it got any better I couldn’t stand it.

Funny how folks deflect blame for what is actually a result of their own decisions. Even funnier (sarcasm) is how the people blamed, have had their hands reached out to help whilst being whizzed on by folks blaming them for a good while now.
Why don’t you show us where I’m saying anything false or intending anyone’s business or profession any harm before you throw out the libel word? Prove my statements wrong if you say I am libeling someone or something.
If I wanted to slam, I’d talk about recent quotes in the newspaper or I’d talk about federal lobbying disclosure reports for Matthew Paxton and Robert Hayes. I might even talk about tax reports showing where $$$$ has been coming from and what has been done with it.
What would be gained from that though?
All I want is for people to listen to the grass roots instead of the grass tops. All I want is for fishery managers and non-profits to be exposed and held accountable.
Nobody’s business(es) have to be harmed at all for the above to happen. Does it?

My wish is that I could have read this entire topic without all the ‘post editing’ that happened. I am not an avid offshore fisherman because I can not afford it, but I hate to see any fishing shut down. I do not like to think that when I get the opportunity to go offshore, certain species will be off limits to me. What will be shut down next? By the way, what is an ARS?

If you want to get into offshore fishing. Hang around and let people know you are interested. People are always looking for crew members willing to chip in.

Really? You just pick folks up off the dock? F that. I’d rather just stay on the hill before I take some stranger sixty miles offshore. To each his own I guess.

How do you think I met Phin? Stopped at the red dot one afternoon, he was begging for money, prostitutes, and liquor. I had none of the above but I had an extra spot on the boat.
Well, I guess you can say the rest is history.

Yeah…I wouldnt go fishin with that weirdo. Scoutin 4 Hineys is what hes doing.
chompers, I have met my best fishing and diving partners on the match up page, a fisherman who is willing to take a stranger on his boat out 60+ miles just to go, is my kind of people! You must not be from around here! I have posted more then a few times when a mate has backed out at the last min.and picked up a stranger and everytime we have become friends and my list of fishing mates has only grown! If my choice is stay on the hill or take a stranger, we going fishing! If you are a a__hole we won’t fish togeather again. If im the a__hole, don’t answer the phone. If you think fishing is expensive now, wait till this summer, you will need a full crew just to be able to go.
If it got any better I couldn’t stand it.
