2005 Mackfest recap

[mudd-mann]

Ditto on the thanks to all and glad to meet the folks that go with the forum names. Portside and Denard were a great host and one of the most helpful dealers I have met. Also, looking forward to the pics. Don't know why more of us NC/SC folks didn't attend, but it was their loss. Maybe next year we can entice them to come. I do have a question. Where was the 5 pound Spanish caught and what was the secret? I found plenty of 13-16 inch stuff (1/2 pound), but could not find anything that resembled a 5 pounder. I guess a 'real fisherman' can bring up the 'big' ones. Hope to see you folks again. Tight lines to all. Don

ahemm... the secret would be to come to the Northeast TBOT where we throw back even the 5 lb fish...

Don, we brought in a 4.2 lb. Spanish trolling pogies in the hook near the lighthouse. Caught several sharks too, but only one small King.

Great looking fish guys. We had some nice Kings caught. I'll have to find a photo of them as I didn't get them till they were buried in ice. I'd love to do some striper fishing with you guys some time.

I just want to thank everyone involved, Randy, Denard, Carl, Chad, all the Triumph staff, and the fellows that fished with me..... I enjoyed meeting and talking with everyone and could not help but notice the enthusiasm exhibited by everyone involved with these great boats and the sport of fishing!

I look forward to our get together next year.

Hey, I'm just jealous that I didn't make the Mid-Atlantic trip.
