It was so cool of Jerry to let Myles reel in his bat, he was really stoked !  

The 2 YOOTS were so hyped about your big 53" Bat, they are going back Friday to try their luck again

It's nice to know The Bats are in there and you and Roger proved there are some big ones to be caught 

Myles was robbed of the title but he took it like a man !    

Glad to see someone else Break Dancing on the sand beside me   Hope Jerry's shoulder recovers after the Tuck and Roll 

 Well, we all had a great time as usual. Cheez came out on Thursday, we BBQ'D and then hit The PCS Show on Friday. Got up Saturday and headed to Mission Bay. The kids were there early and we set up Shop with The Crew. A gusty breeze showed up for a bit, then it all mellowed out which was nice. I really thought it was going to be another uneventful day as not much was happening till Myles landed a nice Bat on Jerry's rod ( Thanks, Jerry !) Then the bite turned on and Tom was The Hot Stick for a while with a couple sharks and a bigger Bat. I finally got hooked up and it felt good to finally tug on something other than a hand rail in a handicap bathroom stall Nice chit chat around the fire and things were slowing down so I figured it was time to head home. Of course I get a call from Max before we even get to the freeway that Tom is on with a Monster !  We could hear the excitement over the speakers in the car, Max was worked up more than Tom I think   A 53" Bat hit the sand for the GRAND FINALE !!!  My boys have progressed from playing the sand, to out-fishing Dad most of the time, they put lots of time and effort into it and it shows! Thanks again,Tom for putting this event together !  Hope your shoulder isn't wrecked too bad but at least San Diego can carry the Torch for another year while the other teams up North are cleaning their sand blasted gear

Relief for you and for the fish at The Puddles    Congrats on the new job !

Make the drive and Join Team San Diego, we have dogs, horses and topless girls on boats to look at when the Bats aren't biting

Yeah, the Jackhammer Mafia Quartet was keeping the rhythm interesting, the earplugs kept it tolerable but I'm still glad I'm good for another year

Max and Myles had some good luck a while back, then it shut off, hopefully The Bats are getting hungry !

Not a bad day, except for the slap in the face   

Kinda nice to be on the water mid week instead of a weekend 

Mr. Warden looks like he's on a Mission !

  Next week is the PCS Show in Orange County, always a cool event. Then it comes to San Diego. I plan on going to both shows just in case I missed something   Anyone else going ?

 Last week was time for my annual brain MRI to monitor my brain tumor that ruptured back in 2014. You would  think I would be used to them by now but they can really get the anxiety kicked into overdrive !
My head gets placed into this small cage, then I get lifted and slid into the machine for 30 minutes
I do have a Panic Button that shuts it down and I get pulled out but I've only had to do that twice in 12 years   This is an Open MRI Machine,the regular ones are just a tube and due to Claustrophobia I use this one. They both SUCK !!! Glad it is over till next year !  I will get the results in a couple weeks, till then it's time to focus on The Bat Fight 

Good on you for helping the Newbie 

1st Paycheck goes towards a Pontoon

That is some good news, Congrats !!!

The Puddles are going to get wrecked for the time remaining

Sunset Slime, great way to end the day !

I always had my reels spooled at Turner's but it's kind of pricey, might be time to look on Amazon I guess but I haven't had a need to switch out yet. PCS Show is coming up, might be a good time to purchase another reel and try out some new Amazon Braid

They are showing up on this end whether it's my phone or my computer.

I noticed I had updates on my computer that were ready to install and that seemed to fix the problem, now I can see  the pics in your last post, all is good now
