[Life's A Beach]

The Results Are In

We headed south and started on a wreck of IBSP. Shrimpie won the Dollar Dollar Bill Yo with a legit keeper AGAIN. That boy can smell money!

Old Salt Jeff caught his LIMIT on this first drop. He had 5 until I fished next to him, clearly my auro taking him off his game. After I left he continued to put on a clinic. Most got a lot of shorts so Kenny decided to move.

We moved down to the reef and fish 3 drops on tanks. These tanks have been there for years and don't stand out like they did when first placed/dumped. Makes is harder to "find the edge" than when fishing a rockpile or wreck. Couple that with further burying from Sandy and ........... BUT LouD dropped on the 2nd tank spot and hit a ~7# on the head.

We made a move north to our last drop and some fish came up. A slow pick but we all heard a call of "net" and Softie pulled a nice fat female. To MY eye it was bigger than Louie's but I'm old and half blind.

Tried weighing them at sea but a steady roll (yes it was) made it impossible. Even tried the boat's Pool Scale but it was as level as could be.

Back at the dock LouD's AND Shrimpman Steve's fish weighed in 6# 12oz so we walked over to Spikes. On their digital pan scale LouD was 6.76# and Steve's was 6.71# 5/100th of a pound made Louie the FINAL PUOSU Champ!

thank you everyone for your contributions of food, drink, ice, utensils. we ate all day long and had a great time. It was nice getting to know some new fellow fishermen.

Things I learned (or heard) today:

(while looking at the tv in the cabin) "Does this thing get porn?"

"Yo LAB, your crock pot of pulled pork just did a back flip off the counter and landed right side up"

You may not see him doing it but Blackfish Bobby catches fish!

Shrimpie takes a lot of abuse but takes it like a man

Scooter aka Scott has lost his mojo

I've enjoyed all 5 PUOSUs but am glad they're done

I DO look forward to the "2013 Inaugural LAB LIMIT CHALLENGE"
