Well, the 'big guy' and I went out this morning. We fished the break wall. Usually I move around a bit, but not this time. I stuck to the wall and ran the same tac over and over. There seemed to be lots of fish. I saw at least a dozen boats with 'fish on', most of them landed. Anyways, the persistence paid off. Out first hit was a very feisty 15 pounder. As per usual, as soon as it hit, I pulled it out of the rod holder, set the hook, then handed the rod over to my 8 year old, who expertly fought the fish. He yells at me until the rod is in his hand. It was pretty cool this time, because as you guys know, the wall tac can be crowded. So a few boats watched the fight, and when it was in the net, I heard a few boats yelling and cheering, it was pretty cool.
10 minutes later, we hit another. My 8 year old yelling for the rod again, so I hand it to him.....but he was too pooped from the last fish, and he couldn't keep the rod tip up, and it cost us a nice fish. It felt and ran a little stronger than the 15, so likely a high teener.
Beautiful day out there, and it felt great to get the monkey off our back...
How's that GnB?
