Lab, Thanks for putting this trip together. Takes a lot of effort to organize a trip this big and you did a bang up job at it. First class job. Food was amazing and thank you to everyone who brought something and to Tom (smokey Joe) for the absolutely amazing brisket and pulled pork. In fact I never seen so much food on a boat.

Catching my PB was highlight but the whole day was great.

I had a great time met some new faces and all around couldn't ask for better trip only thing is wish they chewed a little better tough picky bite had to work for it.

Looking forward to the MIMI next week.

what are we doing for food having smokey cater it or are we just all bringing some stuff to share. do we have a place to plug in a crock pot on the mimi

Oh yeah lab... as for you comment in the beginning during the odds was that enough for the guy from MO. LOL:D

Sorry didn't post last night, but I had to drive my ass back to PA and it was food and sleep when I got home.

Great trip, even if the fishing was a little slow. Spent Saturday on the Mimi and had NONE in the box all day:mad:. Sunday was pretty much the same. I donated a few ling, and cbass to the jmurr foundation, but couldn't find a keeper tog. I finally got the hit I was looking for LATE in the day and boxed a decent fish. At the time I didn't think it was good enough for the cut, but tagged it anyway (hey, I had the tag, why not use it). Ended up to be good enough for 4th place! Next weeks schedule is now in the calender, Mimi saturday AND sunday! I couldn't ask for a better way to spend my birthday next sunday!

Great fishin with a lot of old friends and some new!

PS: Mike, thanks again for welcoming me back with open arms! Great trip!

Dennis SHOWED ME Nice Pig

(Pre Lim - You gotta put a REAL fish in the boat on the 18th):p


Crock Pot yes
Jersey Joe catering no
Let's see how the week plays out as to whom is bringing what in food



There was so much food on the boat I'm surprised YOU had to eat when you went home?? (I had a bowl of cereal)


YO SFUSA - I'll double check the weigh in sheets when I get home. If you actually caught A fish......I'll put you on the list. Three guys at that size so I'll have to draw straws if someone calls out???

Thanks Eric, and to all who said congrats.

I want to have a repeat would be great to have a new PB in the finals.

I have a feeling there will be some better fish caught next week and hope I can do it again. If not it will still be a great trip and will definitely be entertaining.

Hell when I hooked that fish I thought Boston Pete messed with my drag like he did to scotty the day prior.

I didn't eat that much during the day i rather spend my time on the rail than in the galley...

I will either bring a 3 foot roast beef hoagie, roast beef in gravy in crock pot to make hot roast beef sandwiches, or meatballs You let me know.

Trust me I plan on putting a good fish in the boat next week, but if I its someone else that puts in the hours good for them.

Love um or Hate um, one thing that can not be argued is the the man (Lab)ochestrated a great show yesterday organizing this trip with some great people. Props all around to those who fished as well as to Captain Bobby and crew. Not only did we have a good time but we raised a nice size donation for a greate cause. See you next week.

PS

Let me know if I should bring the 100 qrt cooler with ice again for the drinks and to ice catch for those who have a long ride home next week.

All i can say is WHAT A GREAT TRIP.. we have a "motley crew" in the stern from corner to corner!! It was an amazing time, Mike is a great dude and funny how everyone sees the gentle side of him on these trips.. lol Tough day of fishing but i managed ot have a great time no matter what.. Fish or no fish, that was one of the best trips of the year for me!!

Thanks again mike and everyone who made the 18th, (bite me ) hahahahahahahahahahahaaha KIDDING!!

It was nice seeing and fishing with Gerry yesterday, oh wait, never mind


Thanks LAB for a great day and trip. 200 - 1 was too kind

I can see way the trip was limited to 40 guys, the Coast Guard does issue weight restrictions for boats and based upon the food and drink we had, I can see why were such well proportioned men :)

I was a had not, a couple shorts, a doggy and a big mean eel that I thought I had the pool winner on as I was bringing it us since it was foul hooked and rolled into the line. What a fight and what a dissapointment when I got it to the surface.

Was nice meeting and fishing with everybody. Boat left in the dark and returned in the dark, can't ask for a better effort or day

Thanks to Sam the sinker man for meeting at the boat and delivering the lead

Thanks to the sponsors and the others for all the prizes. That was my day, almost 30 prizes for the 41 people and I got skunked at that as well

Great frekin trip!!!!...thanks Lab. OE capt. & crew and everyone who donated something..
Congrats Dennis, I would never pull something like that on a trip where money is involved.....well maybe to Scotty I would.:D

I really had a blast even though the fishing was tough, I met some new people and was great to see familiar faces/friends.

Vinnie, great talking with you...I don't want to blow up your rep but you're good dude...hope we can fish together again real soon.

Smokey, thanks for the food and a special thanks for cutting your 3+lb fish before weigh-in...if Fin S didn't make the cut I don't know who was going to drive me next week?


Can't wait till next week...repemdtion time.

LAB and EVERYONE ELSE- THANK YOU for a GREAT DAY!!!

NO keepah- sized for me, but I had my bites and SHORTS. (thank god i didnt strike out as much in little league!)

I WAS within an angler of MANY going to the finals....YOU ARE WELCOME FOR ME BUILDING YOUR LIFE!!


Thanks to Sam the sinker man for meeting at the boat and delivering the lead
Thanks to the sponsors and the others for all the prizes. That was my day, almost 30 prizes for the 41 people and I got skunked at that as well

SAM- THANK YOU!!! (i need MORE after the "...go ahead, cast out, its a big shelf, not many hangs..." spot!

Taxman- I DO NOT need to worry about REPORTING any PRIZES either, CASH or OTHERWISE.....


YO SFUSA - I'll double check the weigh in sheets when I get home. If you actually caught A fish......I'll put you on the list. Three guys at that size so I'll have to draw straws if someone calls out???


SFUSA IS ON THE LIST!
(RULEZ is RULEZ...we just kept pushing him to the BOTTOM of the list!!)


Mike what is the fare Sunday?

does the COST of the trip dictate what SWEATSHIRT or NAIL POLISH COLOR you wear from your SPONSOR?!


Lastly, I hope I annoyed and offended most of you at some point and entertained 1 or 2 as well. Just like my eagles there is still hope as PHILLY IS STILL ALIVE!

YOU DID....annoy and offend that is!

btw, did you see the NY FOOTBALL GIANTS SCORE!!!
(there is NO life in Philthy)

THANKS: ....... Reel Nauti for handling the weigh-in sheet and figuring out the breakdown for me

Can't wait for next week on the Mimi. There will be 15 angler plus myself AND my neighbor helping out as assistant charter master. He will be fishing but NOT eligible for the Title.

YOU're welcome!
(damn, i thought helping was my ticket to the BENCH of the championship trip....maybe Mimi Chris will be sick....)



I KNEW it was OVER when.....

Fare Mimi $100 plus Pool, TBD

The biggest fish MAY have come from the bow but the Stern was the place to be:

Lefty's wig and glasses

Vinnie's PINK nail polish (which matched his reel color). We really do beleive you allowed your daughter to paint your nails NOT

Tats and me doing a tribute to MickRazz.......putting our Newells in clicker mode

Eamon and Tats keeping me cool when that sun was beating down on my face......with all that FAN motion (Swing And Miss). It's ok, the CONSTANT moving of your sinkers and baits doesn't affect the bite at all OMFG

Taxman - with our "history" on here.........I was expecting a shiv instead of the warm handshake. Nice meeting you.

Andrew "Donand".............Standing in the WARMEST cabin on the east coast......gloves AND hand warmers in his hands as he held them up to the heater blower. You're soft and are giving REAL Irishmen a bad name LOL


I'm sure the mates appreciated the generous tip but RUE the day J Murr ever gets on the Ocean Explorer again. And they thought it was a blackfish trip Joe???


Some of the Big Boys (not weight) didn't fare so well and will be watching the Giants next Sunday. Only 364 days until PUOSU 5!

Ray - waiting on a call........If I get tightened up, you're golden. Will call you as soon as I hear!

I had BRAID, WITH a TOPSHOT of MONO!!

NO overhand cast, but NEW to me reel that i moved the LEVER too quickly on to DROP on Lefty's LIFE! My SAM the SINKERMAN sinker came back at me like an A67 being winched on a rental pole!

Things I learned again on the trip: I really suck at black fishing, but I so look forward to sucking at it, in style, with my new Canyon Reel. Booya...

Capt. Bennett- Great meeting you and thanks for the tips. At least they worked for one half of the best dressed.

Congrats Quanman on the 8 pounder.

Everyone pays AT the boat, Except Foul Hook. He HAD TO HAVE HIS MONEY IN YESTERDAY or he was off the Mimi trip (this is what you get for asking if that was my son with the dreadlocks LOL).

Pay me at the boat. I fully realize that the 4 blocks from YOUR house to MY house would be out of the way (late paying on PUOSU Pre-Lim). Or I could send dread-boy by your house to fetch the $$$$????????? Got an extra room for him?

SportFishUSA had a 2/11

If a plague hits New Jersey and kills 5 people, He'll be on the Mimi.

Odds later this week but you can rest assured.........after seeing and rating the field yesterday that the Phillie Phaker will CLEARLY be well over 200:1
This IS a BLACKFISH contest. I fished between two occillating fans who continually bounced their sinkers &/or rolled their fish and caught more and bigger than J Murr (I weighed both our fish after they were freshly caught and mine was 2 ounces bigger than his at that time - it lost those 2 ounces because I made the mistake of putting my tagged fish in HIS cooler; to be crushed by a mass of ling, dogfish and sea ravens)

D Mac will clearly be The Chalk because he EARNED it!

After him..........it's anybody's chance. The past winners are all out. Some of the favorites are OUT (Stellie, Clam Strings and Fish Cakes [ha ha ha]) and Boston Pete and FinS really SUCKED so The House will have to really put the thinking cap on!

And that makes Dmac's fish even more impressive, he was a bow monkey too.

Pete,

I'm just a hack:D ! I don't even know how to catch these things. I was happy to just be aboard with the above mentioned anglers (including yourself)!

My odds for next week 200:1

MVP
12-12-2011, 06:14 PM
Read all the time how fishing was tough but people still had a good time even though they did not catch well. I always seem to have trouble enjoying myself when I do not catch well ( 3 keepers blacks, 2 seabass, 1 ocean pout and 3 short tog) Can not swing on bites if they are not there or swingable.

This trip proved otherwise as I truly enjoyed myself. Had the opportunity to meet some old friends as well as put a face to the name of some new ones. Have now expanded on my fishing family that I can now call friends. Looking forward to fishing with you guys again.

This trip proved otherwise as I truly enjoyed myself. Had the opportunity to meet some old friends as well as put a face to the name of some new ones. Have now expanded on my fishing family that I can now call friends. Looking forward to fishing with you guys again.MVP


I see you took a page from my book! I'm glad you had a good time, even thou the fishing was lacking!

It's true, BBQ is better the second day:D

Thanks for the care package smokey, the family loved it (as usual)!


I've NEVER gotten a chance to try the BBQ the second day. The same peepz ALWAYS glom it before I get a crack at it.

Got crabs today and a little care package to add to the ones I am holding. Hoping for even more with friday's crabs.

We won't run short of crabs on sunday. Thanks Pete, Dennis and Pete for supplementing our 4 bushels. One wonders how we blew thru 4 bushels since no one had any bites??????
(and when Pete donated the balance of those crabs he had left over, it WAS after he culled thru the bag and cherry picked 3 dozen for himself. Not once did I hear 'Yo Bobby/Dennis.......come pick some before I dump them in wit Lance's')

I don't glom:D, I had a care package given to me by smokey. He always brings a little something for the Mrs. I have to bribe her with the promise of BBQ in order to get out and fish:eek:! I will have a shrimp cocktail with your name on it for Sunday (including cocktail sauce).

As far as the crabs running out, I think I saw some guys in the bow with mallets and drawn butter:D.

PS: I think Jimmymac will be calling you for our saturday trip on the mimi.

Let me know what I can bring (besides your shrimp coctail) for Sundays big trip.

....and you want me to believe you don't have a soft (wet) spot for Petah? :rolleyes:

People were trying anything to get a bite, and that meant fresh bait. I buttered a crab and stuffed him full of brisket. :D Still no love....so I ate it.

Only one way to go for me, so I'm going in with NO pressure. Haha!

Thanks LAB for putting a great trip together. the weather was perfect, the food was great, the capt and crew were spot on, and and it was a pleasure catching up with some peepz and great meeting some new ones. Special thanks to Capt. Chad Bennett on the lesson on culling white crabs.

Thank you Grumpy's for my new long sleeved black T-shirt.

My 7/12 earned me an invite to the Mimi but I have my son's football awards breakfast. I would love to be fishing with you guys again Sunday.

A big thanks to LAB for putting this together...getting 40 guys together on one of these trips must be like planning for Desert Storm

Good to see guys I haven't fished with in awhile like Boston Pete and Scotty, Stellie and MVP

Watching JMurr and SportFishing go at it is worth the trip itself...both good guys and funny as hell

Didn't do well..I think it's because LAB told me to swing at every bite

True story...half way thru the day Lab turns to me and Says "Ed..you're too quiet"...I'm thinking "Holy Shit..if you ever pause maybe I'll get a chance to say something"

had a great time...food was outstanding!!! laughs were great

Strings had a tuff time on sunday had a few shots and dropped a good one...should have changed that hoook im a idiot.....

Good luck Sunday boys Give em helll....

Tie Breaking Procedure


Gonna keep it simple


In case of a tie to those on waiting list, the person who signed up first gets the spot. If said person can't make it, the spot goes to the next person (the person he was tied with who signed up later).

While the 2 trip format was a good idea, with so many qualifiers not being able to go back to back weekends I am gonna hafta re-think this format for PUOSU 5



Mike Garone - You are now on the Mimi Trip since Scoundrel can't make it. IN or OUT?

I thought blackfishermen actually had the ballz to say "I'm going fishing and that's that. Take the family portrait without me!" hoo luvz u cakes? :D

The deeper you go into the roster the more this trip will turn into a swingers party. :D LOL.

Personally I would have took the top fifteen spots if people couldn't make it you just fish with less people and up the cost. What's 25-50 bucks more.

Understand why you are doing it like you are lab, but damn how sooner or later you be through the rotation.

Hell every fish I caught would have made the top 15 except one.

Personally............. oh nevermind........you know what I'm thinking!

This isn't your personal boat, it's a charter boat; capable of holding 25 people. I chartered the boat and the price worked out to $100 to cover Fare, Tip and Whiteleggers. Cut the people in HALF and it's then $200 per man; not $25 extra per man.

Dennis wants it to be ME, HIM and SHRIMPMAN; then he's assured of winning. :confused:

Yeah but if only 5 guys dropped out then you take 500 split by 10 leftover guys making it 150 a guy instead of 200. How many from the original list up through Bobby you posted dropped out? 2-3 so 200-300 divided by 12 or 13 is only approx 25 bucks.

1. LAB - Self Imposed Winner and will benefit from the smaller field (biting tongue) 5:1
2. DMac 11/2 IN Won the Pre-Lim and is tawkin' trash. 3:1
3. Shrimpman 5/4 IN Alway "entertaining" but between his shrimp and the other softbait I'll sell him; doggies, cod and ling. 99:1
4. Foul Hook 5/1 IN Re-united with his "friend" Rob B due to the fall-out. Couple these two @ 25:1
5. Bagel Boy 5/0 IN TOO DAMN QUIET. Only way I knew he was on Pre-Lim was the delicous bagels. Last year's winner was quiet too but NOT THIS YEAR Gene 35:1
6. D Rod 4/14 IN Too busy thinking "with his head". Hacked it up last week. 75:1
7. KurtisB 4/9 IN Another quiet guy who's growing a beard just to "Look Like LAB" (I'm still funny). The House has a feeling here and sets his numbers @ 4:1
8. Boston Pete 4/4 IN Still The House's Chalk this year and will catch a double digit tog on his sidewinder. He'll be well rested as FinS will drive and unload the truck. 1:1
9. Rayman/Grumpy's 3/15 IN On BNR, he's an ANIMAL. Last week he was a LAMB. 10:1
10. Krueger 3/5 IN Freddy's a middle of the road fisherman. And a Devil's fan who would look great in this year's PUOSU Crown. And monkeys might fly outta my butt!!! (name that movie). 99:1
11. MVP 3/1 IN DUE! But he'll be hiding in the bow, whispering to D Rod AGAIN about "P" and will be distracted. Young Guys PPPFFFTTTT! 15:1
12. FinS 2/13 IN Will be exhausted by the time we leave the dock from BABYSITTING the eventual champ; it must be getting old Bobby??? Still a puller with a 20 to 1 reel ratio. He'll pull a nice fish from the depths in record time .........BUT not THE fish. 5:1
13. Rob B 2/11 IN Last Year's Winner. Last Years Model. (name that artist). This Blind Squirrel found his nut last year and for that.......20:1 SEE FOUL HOOK FOR THE COMBO BET!
14. Sea Soda 2/8 IN Sat around the Ocean Explorer with his "Game Face" all day. A Professional Captain (note I didn't say "fisherman" lmao). He'll represent .........POORLY 30:1
15. Scott Kearny 1/3 IN (and paid paypal) The FIRST champ and he hasn't done shyte since. Group HIM in the D Rod/MVP group as he has recently REDISCOVERED that "it" isn't just to tinkle out of. 99:1
16. Stellie IN MY BOY. Had 2 PIGS this week on a charter and this IS a charter. He got a serious beatdown this week from his GF when he called her "my old lady" so don't "no" if he'll be recovered in time to compete with THE MEN??? Still a proven fish producer......2:1
17. Guest Will be in the POOL but not for the TITLE. He is a NEWBIE to this bottom fishing arena but has caught his share of decent fish. But NEVER under pressure and with this group, there will be pressure. 50:1

Stellie, Jigamafish Joe and I started the day at the OB Diner for breakfast. Joe went to Fish Monger and Stellie and I to Mimi.

Left the dock @ 6:30 and headed north. We set up outside a group of boats off Elberon and picked some keepers. Chad caught and Ray and I skated to keep him warm (yeah, brisk to say the least). Chad pulled another and Ray BOATED his big fish of the day (his ONLY fish) while I missed a bite. THEN Ray got waffled.......set the hook and started reeling. He got the fish off the bottom but this fish was MAD. After just seeing how his GRUMPY'S CUSTOM ROD (shameless plug) handled the 7+#er just a few minutes early, I KNEW this was a PIG. Boston Pete on one side and Chad on the other with me peeking around Chad as the fish thumped and thumped. Got a couple more turns on it and then BINK and the line goes slack. Pete's jaw dropped and Ray's face went BLANK. We now have a New Momoi Slicer. It may be great for tuna but this is the third fisherman I've seen (me and Boston Pete being the others) destroyed by this line. It nicks fast and fails under pressure.

We made a move north and inshore to an area Captain Kenny calls the Meat Market because it's yields so many nice fish.

Rob B pulled a nice 5#er and DMac one around 6# plus some others around the boat. A few dinks came over to my left as I tossed a full white crab on a single Gami 4/0 and it got pecked 2x. Then I got the right bite to swing on and it had very little resistance. I thought I had another dink. THEN it got mad when she released she was hooked and my GRUMPY'S CUSTOM ROD (shameless plug) starting pounding. I gained line on my Newell 220 (Thank You Lefty Reeler) and the fish head up to the bow. To cat-calls from my FRIEND Stellio "Woof Woof - Doggie", I got the fish to the surface just as it wrapped around another line (KurtisB?). Mate Chris scooped the net underneath and plopped my P.B. on the deck. 11 pounds 7oz. Put her in water right away and waited through the day for someone to beat it.

D Mac, D Rod, Stellie, Scooter among others caught other NICE fish (or rolled them) but my fish held up to take the title and pool.

2. Boston Pete has magic powers. Let's See - Secaucus to Keansburg to Secausus and he's not even there to help???
3. Just because it's your 54th Birthday, that doesn't mean you're not gonna be The Bug (as opposed to being the Windshield). OUCH!!!
4. Scooter to MVP "You gotta get one of these strap-ons. Feel how hard IT is" as MVP does. OMFG *
5. It's better to be chased than it is to be chasing.
6. A warm cabin is a Godsend on cold days.
7. Wearing finger-less gloves can be used as an excuse for missing a big fish.
8. When a TRAY of brownies is UNCUT..........you can eat half of it and say with a clear conscience "I only had ONE piece"
9. We have some of the nicest people on this site
10. Winning is much better than having to type "Ask Gerry Z, he's a much better black fisherman than I"

I would rather you had boated the fish and lost than to see you lose it on that momoi garbage.

You are right about those Seekers. They are GREAT blackfish rods; you can feel a bergall fart next to your crab AND handle a big fish easily. Pass on to Grumpy and Mike how happy I am with the Custom Rod you built for me!

I will discuss this once, then NEVER speak of it again!!!!!!!!

I didn't catch one single living thing today:mad: :mad:!!!!!!

Not a bergal
not a skate
not a dogfish
not a sculpin
not a black fish (short or otherwise)!!!!!

I tried whole whites, half whites, soft whites, hard whites, whites with legs, whites without legs, shrimp and hermits, and caught NOTHING!!!!!

I went thru 14 chuncks of sams lead, and a whole lot of ribbing! NOT one of my better days!

with that out of the way, I had a great day with quality people! a great way to spend my birthday!

Congrats, and thanks to LAB for his PB and all of his time putting this together! It truly was VERY NICE fishing (if thats what you call it) with everyone of you! Also thanks to MVP (I think) who brought a bday cake, it went well with the leftovers from yesterdays cake:)!

Now as stated above, outside of this thread, I will never discuss this days results again!

Congrats mike. Very nice fish today. Thanks for putting together a great trip. Glad the roast beef was a hit.

Wish someone could have either turned on the heat or turned the fan off my hands are still burning. New it was gonna be a cold one when I came out to find my rod and reel encapsulated in ice. Picky bite again really had to wait out the right bite.

Weighted my big fish after it was bled when I got home on digital at 6 lb 14oz.

Again thanks mike for the hard work and see you next year.

What about doing it during one fish limit before season opens. We are only looking for "the one" anyway....

You're the man Mike!!!!!! Congrats, I had a feeling you were going to take it this year.. And huge props for releasing that fish!!!!!!:D :D :D

I would have loved to see Ray'S fish, the way his rod was thumping and when it started towards the bow you knew it was a beast. That Momoi mono is garbage for bottom fishing, sorry you had to find out the hard way....that sucks.

Thanks again Lab for putting these trips together and great fishing/seeing everyone again....Happy Birthday Shrimpman!!!

Happy holidays all, hope to see you all soon!

All that time spent typing out the odds and organizing these trips surely paid off... Santa must have been watching, just not the stuff coming out of your mouth, well deserved Mr. Wells very nice fish and Orange Custom.
Guess that was the best $80 newell you ever purchased lol .. glad I could contribute to your success...

Make a few copies of the pics and carry them with you like Steve did, so when people want to "no" what a 11.7#'er looks like you can give them a little keepsake...

Congrats again, and thank you for organizing/running the pre-lim was a great day on the water, and nice to know my little 2# 3oz'er would have given me a shot at the title.. but instead I chose to bang my head off the urinals in East Rutherford

I Don't think anyone stated the fact that when, the champ, was bringing the winning fish to the surface he was tangled with at least one line and had several others right next to him, and still managed to keep his cool! Again Mike nice fish and as always great job worth both charters. You deserve it!

Any one else's hands still tingling today... What a group of sick F^&%S we are as fisherman. We need our fishing fix that bad we are willing to freeze our balls off to do it and wouldn't hesitate to do it again. People look at me funny at work when then ask me what is wrong with my hands and I say I was out fishing. They ask ice fishing I say no on the ocean. They say we are nuts I say they are the ones that are nuts and don't know what they are missing.



was talking to stellie and we are starting design of blackfish catameran that you can fish from the inside of the cabin you could charge a fortune for a fair on those exceptionally cold days.

As Mike stated, the fish headed towards the bow. I was third up that side and got wrapped around his fish. I reeled for a while and left loose when my line headed towards the stern and the fish got near the surface. Chris did a nice job netting the fish and untangling the mess.

First time I had a chance to log in. As has been mentioned big props go out to our charter master for organizing this PUOSU IV challenge. Well deserved big fish honors for all the hard work he put in. Was right next to Lab when he hooked the big fish. I must be a lucky charm as same thing happened on previous trip on DMACS fish. As Lab was reeling in his fish he did not say a word as he new he had a good one on. Those were the best 30 seconds of the entire trip:D

Had a great time on both trips even though I did not catch anything close to a contender either trip. Looking forward to next years challenge. Wishing everyone a successful ending to this years blackfish season. Hope to fish with some of you guys soon.

"the best 30 seconds of the entire trip" ????

I thought I was on my best behavior, especially since I didn't have Vinny or Joe to egg me on???

This is the year of the NEW LAB, HUMBLE!
