Trip Summary

Mike was hooked up with one of the hardest fighting fish my home water’s has to offer. Drag was constantly paying out line…I had to crank outboard to assist him …. that’s one of the reasons I have him sitting on the ice chest. The other reason, to conserve Mike’s energy. Guys, we went back and forth with that Volkswagen of a fish for over 30 minutes. After recovering over 200 plus yards of line, we managed to catch a glimpse of the fish! It was a monster Jack Crevalle that looked to be well over 30 pounds! Dang, if Murphy’s Law didn’t rear it’s ugly head. We continued searching for a school of feeding fish blowing up at the surface, but decided it was best to change gears. Finished up the remainder of the trip with everyone catching multiple fish…cats, reds, pins, and croakers. And still had a blast!
