PICTURES from the BRAGGIN’ BOARD

PLEASE Send us some recent pictures! Kids, Wives, Girlfriends, Mom, or Dad, we love them all! Just attach them to an e-mail with a short explanation to [email protected] and we’ll make sure they are posted on the “Braggin’ Board”. We will also try to get them in our newsletter.

Grandpa Nick Grimaldi was one proud grandpa when granddaughter Isabella caught her first fish. Nick traveled to Tennessee from New York for Thanksgiving and we’re guessing this day-after-Thanksgiving catch was one of the best memories of that visit!

Here’s a picture we really like. Stephan Wolthuis with one good looking pike as well as one good looking G. Loomis jacket! You think that jacket brought Stephan luck?

Our friend Bob Daly sends us this great picture of Steve Ryan holding a “big’un” from their Thailand fishing trip. Looks like fun to us!

Terry Bourg shows of a nice catch caught recently in Louisiana off the levee. We’re guessing there was some good eating from this catch!

Thanks to Craig Stewart we have this picture of Andy Mead holding an amazing 65 lb Cobia (black kingfish) caught recently off Bundaberg, Queensland, Australia. It took Andy 40 minutes to land this trophy. Bravo, Andy!

You know, there are some gorgeous fish in the world and then there are some…, well not so gorgeous fish. Bob Daly’s alligator gar from Thailand will most likely fall in the “not so gorgeous” category, but we’re guessing this was a fun fight!

There are loyal G. Loomis customers and then there are really loyal G. Loomis customers. We’re thinking Petter Andersson would the be latter!

Talk about a nice fish, how about Ken Jenson’s 16+ lb lake trout caught in the Bay of Quinte on Lake Ontario recently? We think “nice fish” is a big understatement!

We’re thinking Rex Racer’s smile pretty much it all in this picture. And why not, given this 32 lb freshwater striper he caught in California using swimbaits and the new Power Pro Super Slick braid. Way to go Rex!

Our friend Laimonas Kuisys holds a beautiful 16 1/2 lb pike caught recently in Ireland. A very inspiring picture with great background scenery for sure!

Now this is truly a classic shot. Grzegorz Borowski of Poland sends us that great shot of a golden dorado hooked in a stream in Bolivia recently. These fish are world class fighters, and on a fly rod had to have been the thrill of a lifetime. Bravo, Grzegorz!

You don’t see two 6+ lb smallies every day, but we’re thankful that Ken Jensen shared these marvelous fish with all of us. What a trophy to come out of the Bay of Quinte on Lake Ontario. Better yet, Ken also landed a 6 lb 4 oz smallie as well!

Mark Wilson sends us this picture of a nice catch recently from Australia. Now that Mark has a new boat, we’ll be expecting lots more pictures like this!

We always get excited when we receive a picture of a youngster’s first fish, so Dan McRorie son Liam’s first fish was very much appreciated. Dan says this rainbow trout was released at Liam’s request to “let it go, Daddy”. You can’t start them out any better than that. A big “well done” to both Dan and Liam!

Here’s an example of one of the world’s best fighting fish caught by Grzegorz Borowski from Poland while fishing in Bolivia. Fishing for these fish is definitely on our “bucket list”!

Talk about a nice fish, how about this huge extra large redfin caught by Dave Clarke in Australia using a G. Loomis SJR781 IMX spinning rod. We can see why Dave is smiling!

Hey, it’s the Christmas season so we got this picture of Santa with a nice 25 lb large mouth nannygai. Well, actually it’s Craig Stewart, but what they hey, it IS almost Christmas! Craig says the fish was caught 28 miles off the coast of Bundaberg, Queensland, Australia on 20 lb braid on a medium sized thread line outfit. Merry Christmas to ALL!

Please, folks, send us some of your pictures. We’re not after trophies, just pictures of fish you’re proud of. It’s easy. Just attached them to an email and send them to us at [email protected] and we’ll do our best to get them in the newsletter. Send them in to us!

Tight Lines!
