As many years as you guys have been shooting for that WR I'm so proud you finally hit it! Now you can take a proper summer time fishing trip down this way and catch tuna for days!

I can think of a few growers that could learn a lot from you guys and how you share your knowledge and how to grow theses monsters! Top notch for sure!!

Again, well done and it couldn't happen to anyone else that tried as hard as you guys! BRAVO!!

Thank you everybody for your kind words. What empresses me most is how many growers and new growers there are at each weigh off.
The new growers, young and old, are the future of our sport so keep talking to one another . Keep this the friendliest sport in the world.
