[SUPER SPOOK]

[PasadenaMan]

I might just have to head out saturday to get some big uglies after seeing those pictures! Nice...

[dbarham]

nice catches. Sure is fun fishing for those ugly suckers.

All we had were some Ambassadeur 6500's I found in my closet with 30# mono on some $9.00 Academy rods someone gave me for christmas years ago.Next time i'll be better prepared and hope to find some to bend 7/0 hooks.

I bring my snapper rods out when I got after Big Uglies...

100LB leader, 80 lb top shot on the reel to 65lb braid. We've bent several 7/0 hooks before

Those are awesome fish. We had one last year in the tourney I believe was around 43 inches. I have Penn reels loaded with 80lb Suffix Braid and Penn Slammer and Ugly Stik rods in the 20-50 lb. class. We had a few we believe were larger, break off.

We will be trying the same spots this weekend, if the weather cooperates..

see ya on the water....

[HEEEREFISHYFISHY]

The bigest one we caught was about 40 inches and it was a 15-20 min fight with med gear.A 50 incher would be a battle for shure.I'm not shure if my scale is correct,the 40 inch one was only 36# on the scale but felt heaver to me.idk it was BIG fun.

[Fisher_Of_Men]

Wow!!! Nice fish... Yep, I'm hoping to get on the board this weekend... I have a new spot that I hope is holding some "50 inchers..." Those BU's are fun to catch....

[nokatchin]

Nice catches and lots of action.

[Robalo]

We hit S. Jetty about Noon on saturday, was there about 15 minutes-2 hits (I use circle hooks and forgot not to set it, just reel) missed em, then phone rang and ambulance was taking my dad to hospital, so pulled anchor and headed in and then to check on him in hospital, so only 15 minutes, but 2 hits right away, slow outgoing tide with little movement-28' water, crabs.

nice catches. Sure is fun fishing for those ugly suckers.
