A friend had hit me up and was feeling the urge to fish. I We were fishing by 10:30 pm. I had changed my mind twice because of conditions! Waves were pounding although the first cast yielded a bat around 36-40". I Forgot how good they fight.

The tide was dropping quick and it began to sprinkle lightly. I had another take... Put the reel in gear and reeled up on the circle hoo. I had the drag hammered down. more than i wanted to. Felt like a small yellow tail. I had called it being a huge calico as i was bring it up. This was redemption for the other tank i lost a few weeks ago.
