Sept. Slab of the Month Entry: Black Drum

Here's another case of "I couldn't said better myself."

Chum-

Chesapeake Bay Black Drum caught on an 11 weight fly rod. Fish was 92 pounds and landed in 45 minutes caught on a black half and half on the rocks. 1 of 2 fish landed that day and biggest I believe ever caught on a fly in the Bay. Leader was 6 feet of 40lb fluorocarbon so not in contention for IGFA record books. Thought you might like this as a slab of the month!

Caught by Colby Trow owner of Mossy Creek Fly Fishing shop in Harrisonburg, VA in August on the Chesapeake Bay. Also pictured Colby Trow's girlfriend Jessica Tomey.

Slab of the Month Entry: Nocturnal Emission

I don't know what's more impressive - the fact that Stephan nailed this fish last week at midnight on a glow in the dark nymph, or the fact that he had enough self deprecation to let this facial expression fly on the Chum.  Either way, we like this guy.  Doesn't hurt that we was out with our boy Heron for this nocturnal emission.
