  1. Trophy!! Congrats and good luck on the new business Tony!! :yes:

    FYI - Tony typically fishes as the captain aboard the Strike Team amateur division entry in the stateside pro-am series. He is a former police officer and all around great guy. Stop by his place and take a look during the Niagara pro-am weekend!!

  2. We caught this specimen the day before the Sodus Pro-Am during pre-fish. It weighed 25lbs!!

    Check out the anal fin. Much different than a Chinook!! Vince identified it as a "Chinho" - a cross between a Chinook and a Coho. Pretty cool!! I'd never seen one....anyone else care to chime in??

    We speculated as to whether or not the fish was naturally reproduced and/or possibly sterile??

    At any rate, I'm getting it mounted.....Dex

  3. Gentlemen,

    I wanted to congratulate Yankee Troller for their win from all of us with Team Thrillseeker...nice work guys!!

    Boat troubles caused us to be late on day 1 by 6 minutes, costing us 60 points (ouch) - I won't go into details (cause they are UGLY) :$ ....we made up for it on day 2 with a 243 point catch.

    We fished mostly outside of Yankee Troller and a bit east both days.

    8 fish on day one for 157+ points (minus the 60) = 97+ points

    12 fish on day 2.

    As we neared our limit on day 2, we focused on larger salmon rigs, and took out some lines that were producing 2 yr olds primarily since we needed a big box to compete. Good call on Capt. Vince's part as fish #10 and 11 were 18 and 19lb kings. At this point it was approaching 12:30 with a 1hr and 10 minute run back to the Oak. We put our hot smaller fish rigs back in and had our limit with a 7lb. king @ 12:37PM!!

    For those of you thinking of fishing a tourny, give it a shot!! There is nothing like it, and the comraderie is great....

    See you guys @ Sodus (I don't think I'll be @ Oswego)...

  4. Just wanted to take a minute to introduce myself.....my work has moved me from Western MA to TX, but that doesn't stop me from making my way to Lake Ontario 4-5x a year. Since 2004, I've been a member of Thrillseeker Sportfishing tournament team (Captain Vince - our fearless leader), and look forward to saying hi to you guys on the circuit this year - I'll be fishing Niagara, Orleans, and Sodus....Can't wait til late April - we'll be @ St Catherines for the Scotty Tourny this year - come on spring!!

    Man, I gotta move back!! I have the sickness!! :D
