How many bulls was that 3 or all the same one?
Bro that first Bull and the 2nd Bull arent even close to the same size, one was a foot bigger then the other, and the 3rd Bull was right in the middle of the 1st two. That was a triple header, with only three anglers on the beach, I had to throw the rod in the spike and tail rope my own Bull. Then the other Chris fought the 2nd in and I tail roped that and then finally Troy got the third in and I tail roped that.

From Tonight


Hammer - Troy Weber - 9ft 11inches


Nurse - Chris Bishop - 7 ft 6 inches


Nurse - Dave Goode - 7 ft 5 1/2

It got real nasty after dark and we were real lucky to get the baits out when we did. We got the first Nurse just after dark and sat on one rod for 3 hours hoping to get the big bite just to get another Nurse.

Bad response to a compliment

Actually i did not look that closely and analyze all the pictures!!!!
just browsed through them.

again bad response to a compliment Chris!!!

Considering that after each picture of the Bulls I put the angler's name and the size which is different for all three, you can see that asking if they are all the same fish could imply that we would be trying to cheat numbers wise. Thats just how I read it. If all it was is that you just didnt look that closely at the post then its all good. I took the rest of your post as a compliment and thank you for that, but I just wanted to clear up that particular question you asked. It gave me the chance to tell the story of what happened that night as I was planning on doing anyways. I didnt mean any offense by what I posted.

nice fish boys !!!!send them fish my way!!!

nice hammer..im jealous...must be some using some good bait .but be careful with the swirls..looks like you hit the poor guys shorts

Props on some amazing catches guys/gals, Melissa nice HH and a pig Lemon, Chris that big Bull is freakin' awesome.

Nice HH again Team Blackbart!

We've been hitting the beaches pretty hard but wiithout having much success finding what we're looking for.

Hitting Herb Goodman's old stomping grounds north of Boynton Inlet but luck was not on our side .The boats in the early morning come too close to the beach in search of schools of baifish and threaten to slice off our lines.

our only fish on this trip a nurse that destroyed a 15 lb bonita,,,,,,,,dammed nurse curse

tail shot-82 inch Nurse

On the beach the previous night w Jimmy,Aaron and Jonathan(spearem)who we met while he was pompano fishing.This blacktip does not count it did not make the 5 foot minimum
We fished the entire night and at 7 am we left Boynton beach to take out my open fisherman to try our luck on the boat for a change .It was a rough day to take out the boat 5-7 foot seas but we had a great day catching kingfish and dolphin.Check it out on the Florida Fishing Reports thread.
With the wind blowing 20 -25 it's gonna limit where we fish for the next couple of days but we'll see what we can make happen.Good luck everyone and please BE SAFE!!

Nice fish Will!!

Congrats to Black Bart on another nice Hammer!!

JUST A REMINDER

LAST DAY TO POST YOUR SHARKS

FRIDAY MAY 1ST,2009
