Re: PUOSU VIII Final on Mimi 12/19
 

Well we didn't get many but a few guys had some really nice fish. MVP had a 9 and change, Broken Bobber a 10 and change and Joe The Plumber took the crown with a 13 and change.

Thanks everyone for coming out and for the crew of the Mimi hosting us again.

We managed to raise $2750 for the Wells family which Bobber will be delivering to them just before Christmas.

Re: PUOSU VIII Final on Mimi 12/19
 

PaBeerGuy wants to thank everyone for enjoying his Pa's Finest on both trips. :)Last year and the year before the beer only got half drank. I was bringing home half of what I took. I guess I'm starting to fit in more and more, cause this year we went through close to 4 cases! :eek::eek:That's awesome. And not to forget, I hope everyone has a great Christmas/Holiday no matter how you celebrate it.:D:D:D

Re: PUOSU VIII Final on Mimi 12/19
 

Anytime you have left overs and don't want to take ALL the way back to West Chester, I'm right across the river in PA and will gladly help you to lighten the load. I had the pleasure of helping you reduce the qty last year at PUOSU and one other trip I believe so we're like drinking buddies already. ok sort of.. :D.....HAHAHAHAHA

Re: PUOSU VIII Final on Mimi 12/19
 

That's a beautiful tog right there! Congrats JTP on taking the crown and putting a monster in the box to represent PUOSU to the finest. Also wanna throw a big thank you out there to our leader Gerry Z. and everyone else who helped keep this tradition running raising more than $2700 for the Wells family. I had the pleasure of being a part of the first round this year and plan on seeing round 2 next year..... Happy holidays to all ......

Re: PUOSU VIII Final on Mimi 12/19
 

Congrats Joe.. Wish I would had been there to witness it. Nice fish!

Re: PUOSU VIII Final on Mimi 12/19
 

Well another PUOSU in the books. Congrats to Joe the Plummer for catching his fish of a lifetime on the right day especially on a day wear bites were at a premium. You know it is a tough Day when Blackfish Bobby s tied for high hook with 3 fish. A big thank you to all who participated this year to keep the memory of LAB alive. Special thanks goes out to our fearless leader for putting this all together as it is no easy task and very time consuming. Can not wait until next year to do it all again.

Re: PUOSU VIII Final on Mimi 12/19
 

I'm already planning for next year:D

I'm sure the money will come at a good time for the wells family. Great job on everyone's part!

Re: PUOSU VIII Final on Mimi 12/19
 

Thanks for helping out again Alex. Like you, my thanks comes when I'm on these trips looking down the rail, seeing fish flying, listening to chops being busted, people making new friendships, renewing old ones and creating more memories.

A few great lines and memories:

- Ragusa - "I remember when I caught my first 2 pound fish"

- JMurr after Small Fry caught a keeper - "I hope you get nothin for Xmas kid"

- Joe the Plumbers big "YES!! " and fist pounding when his PUOSU winning and PB fish hit the deck

- Hookset trying to set Joey up when he went to the bathroom and Joey caught him red handed.

- Bobby Quinn coming down working the crowd. I gave him my pole and told him to show me how it's done... He hooks one, hands the pole off to me says "that's how it's done" and I reel in his skate.

- DFish rattling my pole when I wasn't looking and hadn't had a hit in a few hours... My neck still hurts.

- The look on Jarheads face when he reels in a 10 pounder and the mate says " It's not your hook in that fish" and seeing Bobber standing on the other side of the deck with a limp pole and $hit eating grin.

- The always funny and never gets old " THIS SPOT SUCKS "

- The look on the mates face when someone threw up in the bathroom :eek:

Re: PUOSU VIII Final on Mimi 12/19
 

I think Blackfish Bobby only had one keeper and his son Thing1 had the 3. Way to go kiddo.

And for those of you that don't do Facebook, here is the captain's comments on why and where we fished.

"This trip as I always remembered was to try and catch some quality fish,was what I tried for was hoping for more than we had but..mike used to stop and talk with me down here alot we always talked about this being for bigger fish. Maybe if I went inshore more sounds like in hindsight going inshore may have produced few more fish today but not many more and no big ones. Call I made..
Capt. Chris"

Had a great time on both trips, can't wait until next year.

Re: PUOSU VIII Final on Mimi 12/19
 

I think a good call by Captain Chris . We had the biggest fish for as many years as we've been running it and Joe the Plumber, an accomplished Blackfisherman, got his personal best.

I know how Miss Columbia feels :(

Congratulations to JTP for catching the biggest tog I've ever seen!! Nice fish!!
Thanks to all who brought food and drink... PABeerGuy is my hero :) The Dirt Wolf was a nice warmer on a rather nippy day. Some serious pullers pulled zeros, but I still feel like an under achiever. Glad I got to join in the fun this year. God willing, we'll all be back again next year for PUOSU IX. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!!

Re: PUOSU VIII Final on Mimi 12/19
 

Miss Columbia :D:D

You've come a long way Artie.... You are eager to learn and a quick study.

Having said that, throw it all out the window when it comes to Blackfishing.
I don't care how long you've been at it, it can be very humbling... You're a hero one day and a bum the next...

After you get the feel for it, a lot of it comes down to having the right bait in the right place at the right time and when you get your chance, having the right equipment to pull the piggy out of the rocks.

If you put in your time, every once and a while all the pieces come together.

Re: PUOSU VIII Final on Mimi 12/19
 

great job to all!!!!!! another outstanding showing by njfishing and its members
for a great cause.

I Concur! I've been there recently and before then many times. This is what I say before the day begins togging... It's not what you have done before it's what you do today. Dennis
