Max wanted to redeem himself and try for a Bat again, no Clown Car Side Show this time ;D His buddy Ryder came over and we loaded the wagon in the back of Max's truck and we got to De Anza about 4PM on Friday :)

Jerry took off, still nursing the Flu and wasn't 100%..... Good to hang with you, Jerry 8) Max was getting Slammed on Mackerel but would not stick. 9 times in a 15 minute period, Max's rod was almost getting yanked from his sand spike, then it stuck :o :o Like a Freight Train it took off and there was no stopping this thing ! Max ran about 100 yards along the shore trying to keep up and it swam towards the bathrooms, past the Buoy Line and it spit the hook :o By now Max is like WTF ??? He hasn't landed a Bat in a long while, always the Sand Hand.....Then Ryder's rod goes off ! 35" Bat ;D ;D
