2013 Fishing Year in Review (post your best fish pics)

[big bend gyrene]

Not a wierd sense of humor. I don't think sexual assault is something to joke about. Sorry if my post offended you.

Last I checked, Salty, it was decided that no charges of sexual assault were warranted. Maybe you should read the report... it sure doesn't paint the accuser in any angelic light. Quite the contrary.

Versus further fanning the flames, Salty, why not share some pics? You have championed picture sharing, even to include frames, in the past if I'm not mistaken.

Here's a few of the ones from this past season I won't soon forget.

Raised the new cobia boat record a few pounds this year during my first trip of the season with Bman in tow.

Caught a nice grouper the same day as the boat record cobia.

Put fellow board member Ontiltttttt on a monster cobe after his first day working with our medical practice... believe it was his first keeper cobia and it tied the boat record that had been in place through 2005 through 2012.

Put another coworker and her fiance on a nice school of BIG spanish macks and tagged a few cobia the same day too.

Last trip of the year had a day where we landed bonita and reef donkeys from sun-up to sun-down.

Caught a few bass out of a place I liked so much I decided to buy it.

But a picture of the most memorable moment of the year doesn't even include a fish... nope, it was the one that got away. Hard to appreciate unless you were there, but bet a million dollars Bman still remembers it!

Man,I really don't want to open another can of worms,but I don't think it is a subject to joke about regardless if he was charged. To me it is irrelevant, some things aren't to be joked about. Rape and murder are two of them. Again, the fact that he wasn't charged doesn't make it ok to joke about. Just one mans ( unpopular) opinion. I'm sorry if I am the only one that feels this way.
I thought it was a nice post and that nasty little joke ruined it. The fact is, I am friends with the guy that made the op. I bust his chops all the time about being a classless nole, but IMHO is was uncalled for, unnecessary and tasteless.

Technically the original post was about a NON-rape... Jhults11 has the law on his side on this one, and you're finding a young man guilty contrary to the law... just sayin'... now how about some fish pictures?

You guys play nice!!!1


Back to fish.
The day with BBG is one I will NEVER forget. Fighting a monster cobia on a trout lure for a half an hour to lose it at the side of the boat with my hands in its mouth.
WOW.... That reminds me I need to get BBG a bigger net!

the other day that was banner was putting 6 people on the biggest reds of their lives in one afternoon!




And catching a few myself

That was some good pictures and nice fish!

Thank everyone for posting your trophies. The part I liked best were the good memories made in 2013. Let us hope for even more in 2014.

Couldn't get out much this year as the Celestial one was in Clinical for grad school and I try to stay out of the dog house by not going to often with out her, but we did get a few trips in this year on the Celestial Crab including new boat record cobia so i'm thinking 2013 was a great cobia year for BBG, woopty, jhults and myself!

Ended the year with Breambuster and family with a few stragglers IE: my fireman friend Tommy and his fire truck!
