  1. Good job Tim, Jeff and team, cant wait for some more friendly competition in fair haven
  2. Hey if this post was about the finders keeper crew, then I want to recant everything I may have said that was in bad light to them, I thought we were talking about some other guys, I know Tim and Jeff personally and believe me they wont hang them selves, only two young guns I know that work the hardest on that lake for every fish they catch, and have taught me a thing or two also, so missdeamer if these are the guys you are worried about you have good reason to be, for they will be the guys to take this sport to the next step, and the funny thing is they are the two most humble guys I know,so it does take me by surprise that these are the two you are talking about [ Post made via Android ]
  3. Hey missdemeaner got your pm, I agree whole heartily, if you read between the lines in my post that's what it suggest, now I have one other one line bit of advice for you, ( lund sss you may want to pay attention) " if you give him enough rope he will hang himself" good luck to you hope everything works out, p.s. lund sss did u get that or do you need the cliff notes [ Post made via Android ]
  4. Sounds to me that you are worried about these guys, so by your actions they are experts, remember this "if you have to ask, you will never truly understand" [ Post made via Android ]
  5. Just thought i would say a few things also, we didnt get a vet on are boat, or did we? when i first heard about this, i was overjoyed to volunteer my boat and experience to catch these vets some fish, my friend also jumped at the chance to help also in the rigging and all that goes along with running all those rods, my 10 year old son begged to come along, at first i thought it to be a bad idea, after all how do you tell a kid he cant catch any fish that the vets would catch them all, but he said to me he just wanted to go and help out the vets, see in are family we have a long line of men who served in wars and peace time, grandfathers who served under Patton, uncles who saw the worst of what Vietnam could show them and personally being a combat marine from the gulf war, so i think my son just wanted to be apart of this to meet the heroes he has heard about through family talks and he assured me he wouldnt want to catch any fish, how could i say no, now my buddy also a former marine waited for our vet but there just wasnt enough to go around, so instead we went to fish with just us three, my son fishes with us alot and he also does all east end challenges with us so he does know what he is doing out there, but today my buddy and i decided that my son was gonna catch all the fish with little or no help to better prepare him for the fair haven challenge, i have to admit he stepped up to the challenge put infront of him, and he has one heck of a way to bring in those larger salmon, see he puts the butt of the rod between his legs and uses a sit down and pull up way to bring them in, its funnier that heck to see but he gets the job done and really only at the netting we may need to help him, he managed to bring 4 kings to the net, with one being 23.13 lbs, tieing for second place, funny thing is it was one of the best days my son and me had on the water, it was all about him and i loved every bit of it, and our father son bond got that much stronger that day, so to answer the first question. yes we had two vets on our boat (my friend and i) and we even had one little hero that just wanted to help but got a day of him battling the king salmon, thank you Nick and Theresa this vet had a great time with son and made a very special memory that we will never forget, its funny how we all went to help but in my case i got the help, till next year
  6. How does one know how far above the swivel ones been cut when using just a spoon, did u take all the line off the reel and measure it? [ Post made via Android ]

  8. Never heard of Dec stopping a boat out there, that must have sucked [ Post made via Android ]
  9. Ray take that hundred bucks and go get 5 more of them scales, I just know I will be one of the last boats to sign in and if I don't have a accurate scale like that one I am just gonna say every salmon that comes in the boat is a 30 pounder [ Post made via Android ]
  10. Its gonna be hard to lie when you have 19 boats trailing Tim and Jeff from Finders Keepers, by the way i call 'shotgun' hahaha!!!!!!
  11.

Damn i look good, gonna chase the wife tonight!!!!!!!
  12. Its been said that I jump up on the captains chair and squeell like a little kid saying get that thing off my boat when one of those lampreys hit the deck of the fast and silver, and ray that's some funny stuff above in your last post [ Post made via Android ]
  13. Looks like the marines from the fast and silver are gonna get laughed at by the Guy with the pink rods, cause we ain't trying no lamprey nothing, matter of fact put it on a microphone cause we still ain't trying anything that eats blood and looks like a alien [ Post made via Android ]
  14. Read big fish at the oak on south shore fishing reports, he caught a 39.7 oz king that turned out to be 36 and caught at the oak, is that the fish u are talking about? [ Post made via Android ]
  15. If its real it has to be some kind of rat that jumped ship, take a look at the fly compared to the head, fly is about 3 inches long puts head about 3 to 4 inches and whole body at about 12 inches, does look more like a fox than any thing else thou except for the fact that the nose is flesh in color, fox have black noses, got to be a rat [ Post made via Android ]
  16. Ok got to agree with the woman that put the pink rods onto the boat, yep your nuts, hahaha [ Post made via Android ]
  17. Hey Nick absolutely hate lampreys, love cupcakes but hate lampreys, just saying!!!!!! [ Post made via Android ]
  18. hahahaaha you spelled dipsy ranger wrong again hahahaah poor guy, u spelled it 'dispy'
  19. hey tim seen your post above about no one else being able to talk on radio cause you guys will being catching so many fish and anouncing them, thats funny, and thats why u will see me behind u and on your port all day hahaha, but we should announce fish like those marlin guys do, 'FAST AND SILVER HOOKED UP' and 'FAST AND SILVER KING IN DA BOAT' i aint never been so excited about something since last opening day deer season, hahahaha i cant wait
  20. i use a roemer, with my cannon probe and for that matter with my other downrigger, i love them, especially with flasher flies, my hook ups are always there, only issue i have had was the release sliding up the wire when i went to set it, all i do now is put a split shot above the release as a stopper, hey splits work on mono and dont break it and works great on the wire with no problems, the lead is soft on a split
  21. I had a heck of time with mine, sent probe back 2 different times, the 1st time it was a bad probe but second time not, that antenna wire going from unit to downrigger cannot be near any other power cords, after tearing my boat apart I found that I mistakenly ran it by a light power cord, moved it and it works great, try that [ Post made via Android ]
  22. Joe put me down for 2, size 2x for both and 1 medium, that's 3 altogether [ Post made via Android ]
  23. Hey hey hey, calm down, that's how stuff gets better ' constructive criticism ', now on a comedic note, that's the best spelling I have ever seen from ray, hahahaha, don't know u ray, but I was gonna make it my duty to find u August 4 th to say hi and give you a dictionary, no really on a serious note can't wait to meet you at the slam us jarheads got to stick together, semper fi my Paris island brother [ Post made via Android ]
