2009 Maryland Fishing Challenge Grand Prize

i wasnt at the 2009 Maryland Fishing Challenge awards presentation on friday @ sandy point state park because i was working...i wouldn't have gone anyway, but the winner of the grand prize (from perryville) is sure glad he showed up this year! he took it all with a 40.8" striper hooked near calvert cliffs on mother's day weekend: that's my hood, and i havent caught one that size since may.

breaking news: diamond jim is still on the loose!

i cannot believed i missed this! i hope the manatee has made her way south from perryville: i would love to see it! the national aquarium is keeping tabs on her and made this video with dramatic music to prove it.
