  1. Took the boy out to cruise the beachfront in search of sharks and bulls. Tried right in front of Pleasure Pier first and caught this old warrior. Notice the love bite on the back end. moved on out a little ways to drift behind a shrimp boat and had a double hookup pretty quick. Mine got off but his stayed hooked for a good 30 minute fight. We kept chasing the shrimper but never got another hookup. Started getting a little bumpy so we headed back in. Good afternoon and the boy got his pb shark so far.
  2. I'm going with a Finetooth. We could tell for sure if we could see the bottom portion of the caudal fin. The finetooth doesn't have a blacktip on that one.
  3. Saturday West Galveston Bay wading with live shrimp. Lots of dink trout but no big girls. Water was prolly a little too fresh with 5 consecutive days of rain. Biggest red went 27”. That was a fun one.
  4. It hasn't been a ton of heavy rain, just a shit load of light rain so I don't think any record inches are being produced.
  5. That sounds like a hell of a day. Kudos.
  6. Late afternoon wade yesterday and awesome sunset.
  7. https://www.chron.com/sports/outdoors/article/Father-son-team-lands-state-record-silver-king-12243649.php The story behind it should help. The dude catches and releases more tarpon than we could ever dream about. They wanted the record and shouldn't be faulted one bit for bringing it in.
  8. Our State record was bigger than that. 229 pounds off Galveston beachfront 2017
  9. My god that was the first thing I thought of except that had to be in the early 2000's when I saw it. Still to this day I don't know if I have some condition that makes those images disturbing to me they way they did. I still can't explain it. I mean, the images themselves are harmless and probably have no effect on most people but it triggers something in my brain that I can't explain. It's good to know I'm the not the only one at least. Okay I answered too soon without reading all the way down. Trypophobia, I'm gonna have to do some reading on that.

  11. Good thread here. May have already been discussed in a Climate Change thread somewhere. His book looks like an interesting read.
  12. Think I found the reason.
  13. Blackberry Smoke at HOB Houston on Friday night was tremendous. Charlie Starr is a way underappreciated musician.
  14. Hard Southwest wind with tea stained water but the solunar calendar had it correct. 3:30-5:30 this afternoon they were feeding good. West Galveston Bay with live shrimp.
  15. Midday special. Buddy only had a couple hours to spare but luckily the fish cooperated with our 1-3pm window. Dodged a couple of storms but ended up a nice day on the water. And mega props to that Rooster. What a fucking beast. I bet those deckhands were pissed chasing that sucker for 4 hours.
  16. Apparently this is the source. Poker game makes sense now. Disclaimer I have no idea if this is him or not but heard through a poker friend it was. https://www.arkansasonline.com/news/2021/may/27/arkansan-charged-in-multimillion-dollar-covid/
  17. Just got back from Caesars. Palace Tower is by far the farthest from the main entrance so VERY long walks back from the Strip etc. However, it is merely feet from the Pool entrance. The line starts forming at 8:30am for the 9:00am opening. By 10:00am chairs will be hard to come by be prepared to empty your bank account if you are drinking. If you don't want to fight the morning crowd, it appeared as though if you waited until about 2 or so, the morning rush of people began to slowly filter out and chairs were easier to find. Hopefully they will have removed the ridiculous mask requirement when not in pool by then. And totally agree on the Strip clientele and smell. I love Vegas for the people watching but it was significantly different this year.
  18. Neither, I was on my deck. They were trout. Never seen them frenzy like that, it was almost piranha-esq. Also hard to catch any when there is that much food in the water 😂
  19. Yes, OB1, the mullet are migrating back up the Coast. The migrate South for the Winter and come back up in the Spring.
  20. Nighttime shad slaughter. Sorry for the sideways filming. IMG_8071.MOV Sorry, I thought the vid would embed.
  21. I played at Aria last Thursday and Sunday night. As of Sunday the plexi was still up but more and more twitter reports are showing them coming down so it shouldn't be long before its back to normal. I was shocked at how little table talk there was. It was the most boring 12 hours of poker I have ever played. The only words ever spoken are "once or twice?"
  22. Oh trust me I rarely see the sun come up. I woke up to pee one morning about 5:30 and I figured the wind laid pretty good so I went out to see if anything was in the lights. Not much but a got damn dolphin scared the shit out of me. Came up for air right in my light coming towards me with that big as "splewww" out its blow hole. So freaking loud when there is not another sound in the air. Went back to bed but never really slept so went back down after dawn and caught that one on the first cast. I usually have two or three blowups at dusk but they are usually so small they can't get the top dog in their mouth. So you are right across from the fire house? That was a shock to see driving out the next morning.
  23. No real big girls, 22" and 21" were the top two. Sporadic bite but a few more for the Memorial Day fish fry. Top water bite is back on in the canal at dusk and dawn.
  24. Just posted on Dos Frios as well but here are the results from yesterday's afternoon wade. All fish but the smaller red caught in 30 minutes. West Bay Galveston.
