Way to go General. Eighty-two, fishing solo and horsing a 70 lb fish over the gunwale - I hope I am doing that well at 82.

I hope I can have a 2 speed avet by the time im 82! I've heard of alot of black drum above the BB this summer... I got one at Love Pt during the CCA LTJ tournament at 43"

Great Story Candy....Hope we can all be that healthy in the later years...Thanks for sharing

Great story. Damn if he doesn't look like a retired general! Even at 82 I'm sure he is still tough and this wasn't a big challenge but most 82 would not handle it. Hope he enjoys it because they really taste good!.........Gary

Congrats Warren! That is indeed a fine catch! You deserve it! See you around.

Awesome!!! This gives us upper-bay fishermen a real boost - imagine hooking into another one of those north of the BB. That would make my day... no, my year... no, my fishin' career!
