Phil - You are welcome on my tug any time. In fact, as far as I am concerned, you get to reel in every fish in the spring until you get your 40"+ trophy....Don

Don...you are being tooooooooooooooooooo nice.

The 39 and some change club(39acc) has be taken very good care by myself for 6 years. I think Phil needs to have at least that long to try and take it to the next level.

He may decide to entitle everyone that catches a 40"+ Rock to donate 1.8 trillion inches to members of the 39acc (only during C/R, using non-offset circle hooks while bait fishing, or trolling barbless..non-stinger lures with a 6 rod limit, 4 days a week.). Hereforthereupon (Man, I could be a lawyer with this lingo...and be rich..not), everyone that catches a 6" Spot can have it mandated to get a citation for a 40" Rock because we owe it to them.

What do you say el hefay (Phil)? (sp)
