Jeff Pierce of Atlanta landed what would have been the new Georgia state record Tarpon had he wanted to kill it. A length and girth formula on the fish brought her weight to a grand total of 188 pounds, beating the old record by 27 pounds! The fish was landed with an Ugly Stick Custom 30-60 class rod and a Penn Squall reel loaded with 65-pound Spiderwire Invisi-Braid. The hook that held the old girl was a Mustad

In about 600 ft of water a wahoo tor off. put boat into nuteral pulled lines in real fast since I was solo fishing. Reeled in a nice
wahoo. When I reached for the gaff. I slacked on the pole and the hooks came out of the wahoo and lost him. So I started al over again and in 1300 ft of water I nailed this faboulous dolphin. I had to cut the lines and lost some real nice trolling rigs. But anyway I landed this fish 1st gaff. The gaff went every way but didn’t break. It was made buy jimmy lewis. I got this fish in boat thru a towel over his head and I
sat down. It was a beautiful day riding home. When I got home I couldn’t pick the fish up. I was wipped out. Long story shory. Dinner was great.

My wife Allyson always talked about when she was a kid flounder fishing w/ her Dad while vacationing in Stone Harbor, NJ from a rental boat. All they ever caught were crabs & sea robbins. Oh yea, they ran aground alot. Last year we bought our first boat and while fishing the Old Grounds off Cape May, NJ., Allyson caught her biggest flounder ever. It was 5.5 lbs. As you can see she was ery proud & wished her Dad could have saw it also.
