New PB Quinte Eye!

This is where it's all going on. One can ask for advice or general information or simply chew the fat about fishing tackle, tips, and locations.

Damn ReefRunner Junk!.. :lol:

P.S. Don't enter those measurements into an online weight calculator...you won't be impressed... :x :?
The online weight calculators always depress you :lol:

I wish there was a way to get the fish safely to a butchers scale for a precise weight but I do calibrate my scales and I weighed it with the same on I used on my 13.3 lb eye from last year. I dont believe the weight to be 14.11 but when she was steady for a brief period it read 14.5 so I will go with that. She was defintely bigger than the 13.3. Pics just dont do it justice.

Either way I am happy with catching this monster.

I know the last time we talked on BOQ you were a little down, but this one proves if you stick-at-em, good things will happen. Have you considered having a replica made ?
I wish I could get a replica made but I cant afford it right now.

I couldnt agree more! It really has been a tough fall so far. All we can do is to keep trying and see if we can figure it out. When I got that fish, I tried something different and it paid off.

We didnt see any nets going over the side yesterday.

Regardless of what the scale said, it definitely is the biggest eye I have caught so far.
