Marty, you been working on your netting abilities? Or is someone else netting these fish? Last image I have of you is you standing on the motor bracket with a net in your hand, cursing up a storm as a really nice fish swims away.

A little background. My personal best is 43 inches. I've had several fish from 45-47 inches caught from my boat, but nothing bigger.
Today onboard PP, Capt. John caught one that was either 50 inches, or certainly close to it. We didn't take the time to measure her, a few quick photo's and back she went.
All our fish (except one) was still carrying sea lice!! Lots of bait in all depths.
Tomorrow, I'm rigging the 22 lines we pull for the season, so we may only do one more C/R trip this year. I hope everyone has a safe and productive season.
A special thanks to Capt. Charlie Schneider, who has been driving all the way from Tilghman Island to Deale just to fish with us this C/R season. He will be jumping back on his boat "Big Will". If anyone is looking for a charter out of Tilghman, look him up.

OUCH!!!
The times I went out with Marty this year (3 or 4 times) we didn't lose a single fish due to bad netting. Of course, we all took turns netting so Marty wouldn't wear himself out.
Marty, let me echo what Mike said. It was really a blast hanging out this spring and I'm thankful for the opportunities. My only regret is that I couldn't take you up on your offer more!
And congrats on that beast of a fish. I think some people are going to have a fintastic opening day.
Keith; if you mean the one I lost on Baldy's boat; that was the last one I missed. Of course, I have to admit, I no longer use a net on my boat. I switched to a lip gripper and I like it better than a net.
On the charter, the sides are too high to use a lipper. The net workes better. Most days, I leader the fish, raise it's head, and let someone else net it.
It's good to hear from you. I hope you have a great season.
