Has not been weighed yet but Tim is thinking around 12 pounds and since he has plenty of double digits under his belt I’d bet it’s very close to that…

Final details are in....
The fish was 12 pounds, took today's pool and is the new leader for the Ocean Explorer seasonal pool and they're trying to revive her as we speak. As you might imagine Tim is floating in his Grundens on cloud 9 with an early Christmas present and his 4th double digit tog this season. Well deserved, he puts in his time and he learned from the best ![]() And like we discussed, they're out there but you gotta work for'em and when you get your shot you have to be prepared. Happy to call Tim one of my close friends and couldn't be more excited for him! Just love when all the stars align and one of our own and a long time sponsor of the site home with the goods! Well done boys!

Went on a party boat the 22 and on one right now. The fishing absolutely blows. Might have 10 keepers on a boat of 30 and maybe another 15-20 shorts. Total garbage. Not the boats fault or cap - fish just are not chewing. Cap has on top of good structure. Oh well.
Get me on the ice! |

Was talking to Tim about his fish and he said something that reminded me of other things I've witnessed myself and if you pay attention to reports of slow fishing in the winter.....
Tim said first crab down Gerry.... Can't tell you how many times I've been out when you get to the spot catch one or two fish right off the bat, you think you're on to something and then nothing. You see the recent reports " caught one or two fish on each drop but they never got going" Point of all this is if you want to have a chance when the fishing is slow be the first crab down. Sucks for IslanderII and Joey Dah Fish since they're always the ones anchoring the boat but the rest of should be ready to drop down as soon as those anchors come tight.

Was lucky enough to boat this 16.75 lb Blackfish yesterday on a wreck in around 90 feet. 30"
The fish hit my nephew's 2 oz Asian Glow jig. My PB Blackfish. Tried to revive for 15 minutes but was not happening. Overall good action all day with keepers, shorts and releases to 9 lbs for the boat. I also lost another nice one which I could not stop. My second DD this season. Joe T.
