hookset

A little over 10 years of only black fishing in NJ and I finally found my first DD in Cape May on a non sponsor party boat on Saturday. Let me start of by saying I’m sure I’ve had a few DD shake my line but I suck and never hook the big guys.
The day was relatively slow with a picky bite. It didn’t matter if it was a jig or a rig. It seems stopping at fishermen’s den in the early am to get some white leggers paid off as this pig took a whole white legger, medium size with legs on and shell off. Fish made three big digs back to the bottom and avoided the net once before finally hitting the deck. It was a long time in the making and certainly a fish i pit the time in for.
Fish came in at 13.7 pounds was 27 inches long and had a 19 inch girth
