Grander Gets Plastered!

Capt Josh · 10-14-2009, 04:52 PM

Bogii just sent me this very cool link from the 1228 # grander weighed in the Pirates Cove tournament last summer. Pretty cool to watch the history of how it became a spectacular mount! I hope that guy has a big ass living room!

Muuuuuuuuuuuuuch better. I spoke with Tony B in Cabo earlier this morning though and he said it's still snotty up there. Shut down the tournament today, looks like it will be a GO for them up there tomorrow though.

Here in PV it's flat calm, sunny, and awfully tempting....

Yeah we're planning on spending some time up there in Nov and Dec. All depends on when those big tunas show up at the lower banks. Reports are spotty at best for that area but there are a few LR boats that are going to be prospecting down there this week. We'll be keeping an eye on their results.

There's a massive temp break coming down that side...looks pretty damn fishy to me.

rodger that. well i hope to see you if you get to cabo. i get down the 30th. tuna tournament one more year!

Cool to see how its done but I dont know what you think, to me the end result looks like a cartoon.
Comparing the paint and detail of that job to a Grander recently done here in NZ and they are worlds apart.

NZ one

Hey Josh, Mozza sounds like hes having too much fun, put him on toilet cleaning duties for the next we will wont ya

Gotta say that NZ Blue is SICK! Whats the story on that one??? Way nicer in my opinion than the Cartoon one...

Thats crazy just the 2 of them guys are picking it up...
Where are they gonna put it down, just on the ground? They got a little trailer for that thing?
Sure is nice though.. Real tough...
