Shoffer gets a magazine photo!

Post by Dandydon »

My fishing buddy Capt. Shoffer finally got some deserved recognition of his personal-best speckled trout. About 3 months ago he landed a feisty 28.25-inch trout in Cold Pass, close enough for me to snap a photo before he released her.
That photo now graces the inside page of “Gulf Coast Fisherman” magazine, along with my short description of his catch, below.
Hats off to Shoffer! He says he'll "return the favor" this Thursday when we hit East Bay seeking a 30-inch trout for yours truly. Guess I'll rig up some white Down South paddletail lures...
Tight lines & big fish to all!

always among the coolest things when our friends (or ourselves) gain fishing notoriety.

Now that you’re famous Shoffer, you can go around kissing people without even asking! Congrats! Be careful of oral herpes though. That’s why I only kiss fish. I hope you smooched that beautiful lady trout. So shiny! So smooth! So biitey and splashy! I’m jealous!!

Thanks, guys. And Cuervo, in the current climate of sexual harassment claims, I am only kissing my wife and my clients' respective asses.

Amazing that this thread is so full of T & A.
Next time, you guys should shoot for a more regal pose like this:

Cuervo, that’s a great fish photo, but I don’t like that mad Russian PUTIN. He probably had an assistant catch that Pike.
Settle back & enjoy a photo from last week of Shoffer & me holding a huge sow trout! He hooked it on a white Tobin weedless whacker, but I had to reel it in. We're applying for a "Joint State Record."
This IS WHY WE FISH, men!
Tight lines & State records to all!

Sorry, Karstopo, but it's a photo-shopped gag photo off the Internet. Wish I could catch a speckled trout that big! Plus, Shoffer & I are better-looking than those dudes in the photo...

All fisherman ARE liars!
Except me. So in the interest of good, decent, honest fishing photos, here’s a photo from a trip I took a few years back to visit a buddy of mine in the moors.

Bet it hit that bloomin' glo-white 4" Down South lure! Good job!
Probably got a butt-load of fillets off that thing!
