Decided to take Kate out for a chance at a big surf fish. Got down a couple hours before the high tide and sent out a mac head and tail section on another rod. Very little weed action but there were clumps floating around .

Right at sundown we saw the mac head rod line drop down limp. Ran over and picked it up, line went tight. I set the hook and handed it off to Kate .(http://i49.photobucket.com/albums/f262/skansand/Mobile%20Uploads/IMG_20160913_202704_zpsbsuw3ru4.jpg) (http://s49.photobucket.com/user/skansand/media/Mobile%20Uploads/IMG_20160913_202704_zpsbsuw3ru4.jpg.html) she had a hard time keeping the line tight with the 11' rod, 4/0 senator and shark repeatedly running to the beach. Luckily the hook was set good in the corner of the mouth. I grabbed the the tail in the skinny and it was all over.

She is stoked! Even though she fell in the wash trying to run backwards to avoid getting b her uggs wet. 😁was pretty hilarious to see . She can't wait to catch a big bat ray ! Bonus pic of me holding the kitty.
