I think Captain Jeff cut a deal with the devil. It was like the perfect fishing day. We have a nice long easy ride out and it's lines in just as the sun is coming up. I was fishing next to Lamar and tried to jig an early pollack. After a few minutes, Jeff wanted to wiggle us a bit so he says lines up and someone snags Lamar from the other side of the boat. Lamar is yelling over to them that they have him. No response. He then starts cursing, calling the guy an a-hole, etc. Jeff starts to move and Lamar's line is actually scoping towards the back of the boat... this is not someone elses line. He proceeds to pull up a pollack in the 25 to 30# class. Looked fat like a tuna. So then everyone goes on to pretty much catch their limits of jumbo sea bass, along with a bunch of big porgies, ling. I caught a bunch of those highly coveted, now protected, pout. So as the sea bass cooled down, and everyone had their limits, the porgy bite heated up. Everyone was catching porgy. Lamar, not to be out done, caught a porgy the likes of which I've never seen before... HUGE! I know he has picks, hopefully he'll post'm. So it was getting close to 1pm. Everyone has their fill of sea bass and porgy and then bam... bam... bam, bam, bam, bam.... I saw a good 1/2 dozen dogs pulled up within a minute of each other. Like a pack they came in... then Jeff gets on the horn and we headed back to the barn. Fabulous day! Kudos to Dom and Brian for keeping up with the tangles, bate and filets.
