[crankybait]

hey guys! well i was going to the navesink river for weakfish and my dad decided we should go crabbing... that was fine. well aparently the weakfish and stripers only bit at night... and the lady said ONLY, no chance of a catch. ok so we had a blast dropping traps all over the place and picking them up every two minutes... i didnt catch any fish so i thought, whatever i'll just crab so after about 20 minutes:


then i caught this... no idea what kind of fish but it was tiny... never theless, fun to prove that lady wrong

got it from under here:


so we had fun, my dad didnt know how to row though, maneuvering took a LOOOOOOOOOOONG time... heres the catch of the day:

up close:


7 inches, BANG!
full bucket:


oh and this is what happens when you bring home a ful bucket without a top:


well it was fun... maybe a bass would feel better but hey.
