Keeping this one short, has been a long week and I think I'm coming down with what one of my kids has that kept him out of school today.
Shared some and with Binh, Josh, and Tom. A little grinner gathering of sorts. We all had mack. Tom can post his results. I stayed consistent and LUCKY by getting another soupfin and hour into the tide swing. Had a ripper of bite just a few minutes prior that dropped the bait, but left the bait in good enough condition that I could send it back out and entice this one. 65" and fun! Josh did the honors and beached him for me.

Binh was able to avoid the skunk with a beastly female bat ray that was pretty gravid and able to use all of her 55" to work Binh. Always happy when he cathes the big surf bats and not me ;). I played sand hand for this one.

Not as crazy as I had hoped, but was good to share the sand with good peeps and continue climbing that leader board ;D
Damn! you wrote this at 2:00am?!?! I'm crushed just on 4 hours of sleep right now.
Well congrats on yet another one Mike. We had an official double header and glad we both had a sand hand to help out! ;D (Thanks Binh, that was a tremendous help and quite the friggand ray you caught! Yikes!)
All in all, I'm glad i wasn't lazy and got my ass out there to fish with you guys. How did Josh do? Hopefully he moved into my spot when I left... or hopefully that wasn't his curse to see Binh get that big bat?!
Bravo guys!
Josh did move jnto your spot for nada. Was hoping there'd be enough action for everyone.
Man, you guys are becoming quite the crew these days, congrats on another good night 8) 8)
Congrats Mike! But Binh is a real man for conquering that monster surf bat! 8) 8) 8)
I though I had a nice seven for a split second, until the run kept going and going and going. That Bat had no quit in her. Thanks for the sand hand...Mike.
Congrats on the soupie, they are such cool looking sharks. 56" on the bat makes my back hurt thinking about it :(
