I guess because I've never caught one..............I think eels are cool 

You aren't the only one who feels that way. Hahah

Damn Big bay on Light line! Killin it Ray!!

Many congrats on a sweet 7 gill! 

We landed 5 bats up to 50" up in my area at a grass out location. Rick boogie boarded few baits out but we eventually started casting as it got dark. We also saw the green fire ball! Thats crazy that you guys saw it down there!! It was EPIC!

Nice to tough one out during crappy conditions.

Keep putting in the work! nice effort.

Damn Tom you are on a roll!!!

i'll take it anyday!

Thanks everyone appreciate the responses.


Sasquath: The tape was tight when measured. Just left it there for the quick picture.

Spideyjig: Occasional yelling at people on paddle board did occur. A crowd began to for as fish were landed but quickly dispersed.

LCJOE: Hahaha Thats the plan with more working out. Been my same skinny self trying to gain weight since highschool. 

I swear i'd target lunker bass down there with one set up! Nice piggy!! 

Nice one Ron! Except where is the picture?! I  want to catch some sharky!

Another two great days batting. Last night Rick an I had a 2.5 hour sunset session and landed a total of 5 between 44-50" I broke in my new Okuma Longitude 12' and Penn Spinfisher 8500 loaded with 65lb braid. I plan to eventually fish with 80lb shock leader and 170lb sevalon coated wire on a 3 way swivel rig. The set up is a bit heavy but its not a problem if you take a sit every now and then. The Longitude is a weighs a bit more than my prevail  but can cast much better than my 12' penn prevail.

Today i went out with Supra97Turbo and his Friend Art for a mid day session and conditions were great. White caps for about 2 hours but it was no issue with the 5 and 6 oz pyramids we were chucking. We were fishing an outgoing/incoming low tide from .5-2'most of the day. With our rod holders further up the beach the grass in the skinny became somewhat of an issue. . Hook ups first cast and a steady bite all day. We landed i believe 10, I had the hot spot and landed 6 with 3 in the mid 40"s, 2 50"s and a 53". Two hooks pulled with one being a nice bat that popped in the skinny, I'm sure it had something to do with all the seaweed on it. One Huge one that took a lot of line started rubbing against some outer reef and i started to get that awful vibrating feeling. Popped 15 seconds later.



50"


Supra landed his PB, 1/4" under 50" Congrats!! His friend Art also landed one around the same size!




As i was battling my 53" my second rod goes off and I told Supra to grab it and fight the fish. Our lines started going in the same direction and we worked it out. I saw the my spool on Supra's fish and fought my fish towards him to investigate. 30 seconds later i get there and we see the metal from the end of the spool. I Cranked down the drag and it kept pulling. We both started thumbing the spool as a few yards were left and it popped. It was another monster! The reel only had about 230 yards of line due to me losing about 40 yds on a reef ripper the other day & Cheap braid( Kast king) Which is much larger diameter than Power Pro. Not sure how i landed the 55.5" a few days ago on that reel.


Here is my 53"


Hope I get into some sharks soon! Gotta start soaking that Mac more. I'd like to pull on some Leo's. soupie or 7 gill would be a major plus! That grinner on the spinner is coming guys!
:wink:
