Have not had much to report as a knee replacement surgery kept me sidelined for a good part of the season.
Got out today to spectacular weather conditions and considered it a win right off the bat. If I wasn't so fat, I would have been shirtless.
Went on the troll with a spread of 3 rods, 1 Maja, 1 9ers shad rig, 1 Stretch 30 down the center.
First hit was on the Stretch. The fish was very hard to stop. Thought perhaps we had hooked into a Thresher that I have been hearing reports of. Fish went deep, saw some good tail pumps, and was ready at the gaff(I forgot my big net).
Fish came up, and to my dismay, it was a Bluefish. But, it was Not any Bluefish, it was by far the biggest Bluefish I have ever seen, and I have seen at least 1000.. I was and still am astounded by its size.
My friend's son picked up the rod and battled it to boatside. It weighed in on the Chatillion at an ounce shy of 25lbs. Kid was beat.
Ended the day with 2 Bass one about 28, he also bottomed the Chatillion, and one @ 23. We had the kids catch them all.
Fun day,Beautiful weather, Good friends,
