tonyb Posted August 30, 2009 Author Report Posted August 30, 2009 Well Done and well worth the time and effort! Congrats!!!Whats the mark on the fish on the second pic? Is the tourney over now? The mark is a Lamprey Eel scar...there were hardly any scales in the one spot! damn parasites Thanks guys!
CLofchik Posted August 30, 2009 Report Posted August 30, 2009 Nice fish and well deserved with the time you put in over the years. BTW -- To be a proper Tyee it has to come from an unpowered boat. Anytime you want to hit Bronte out of a canoe give me a buzz.
danada Posted August 31, 2009 Report Posted August 31, 2009 Congrats, stopped in at the bait store saturday after braving the waves and had a gander at your monster, nice fish.

Wendel Posted August 31, 2009 Report Posted August 31, 2009 Well done! I sort of know what it's like to hang on to win. My sister in law caught a winner back in 92 or 93 I think... she was walking on eggshells the whole week lol Congratulations once again!

LeXXington Posted August 31, 2009 Report Posted August 31, 2009 Super, I was down at Bronte on Friday.. no report cause I did not make it out of the harbour. They were all talking about your fish., congrats

dobee Posted August 31, 2009 Report Posted August 31, 2009 awesome catch tony... glad you hung on to top prize for the week!! ps: any idea when the bronte cleanup is this year?
irishfield Posted August 31, 2009 Report Posted August 31, 2009 Super Tony... now you've got something to pull as a tackle box! lol
Ziki Posted August 31, 2009 Report Posted August 31, 2009 (edited) ps: any idea when the bronte cleanup is this year? Due to the town of Oakville banning public fishing in some areas Tony has decided not to continue his rehabilitation work in Oakville. PS great fish Tony!! Which boat are you going to keep? Edited August 31, 2009 by Ziki
johnnyb Posted August 31, 2009 Report Posted August 31, 2009 WOW!!!! That is super fantastic!!! Way to go, man! Will you fish the winner's derby?
tonyb Posted September 1, 2009 Author Report Posted September 1, 2009 Due to the town of Oakville banning public fishing in some areas Tony has decided not to continue his rehabilitation work in Oakville. PS great fish Tony!! Which boat are you going to keep? Wow good memory Ziki! I'll be keeping my 1900 ProV over the 18 foot Rebel, so I am hoping to find a buyer..interested? As for the cleanup...I took the 'No Trespassing' (Anglers Only Edition) to heart at the park so now those buggers can clean their own park for all I am concerned. Maybe one day the city of oakville will turn 'angler friendly' and they will gain the support from anglers in regards to park cleanups, tree planting, etc... But luckily, there is someone else who is still not jaded, and is carrying the torch forward...Send a pm to 'Burtess' on the board, as I believe he organized it last year. ask him to show you his secret steelhead haunts too
Tybo Posted September 1, 2009 Report Posted September 1, 2009 Good going Tony. What does it feel like, Having Lund's coming out of the
fishnsled Posted September 1, 2009 Report Posted September 1, 2009 Good going Tony. What does it feel like, Having Lund's coming out of the I'd imagine it feels pretty damn good. Congrats Tony!!
Carp Posted September 1, 2009 Report Posted September 1, 2009 Excellent news bud !!! Congrats on the catch and prizes. My own search for the tyee continues.
steve-o- Posted September 17, 2009 Report Posted September 17, 2009 Hey Tony, Tell us all how you actually caught the fish. What Lure? How deep? How far back off the rig? I'd LOVE to hear your story and I bet a lot of others would too, especially the Derby Committee. I heard you launched out of Bronte at 7 pm hooked and landed the fish by 7:30 and got up to Franks by 8 to weight in, HUMMMMMMMMMMMMM. I have a picture to post soon.
