Not in the DD Fluke club either so as Shrimpman Steve used to say... "I only have one word for you..... Tennis"
Great advice from Dan above, be prepared because eventually you'll get your shot...
Only fish I've ever had that I think was over 10 was down around Long Branch... I was on a buddies boat, fishing a live snapper and my pole doubled over. I got over excited, horsed the fish up to the top and asked for the net... Not net on board and with a few shakes of the head she was gone.
Also to Dan's point me and my older and less handsome brother were fishing up off Sandy hook... It was one of those days where we could do no right and he was driving the boat the whole time.... Told him OK time to let me put us on some fish.. Made a move on the edge of the nice drop and wham... He get's absolutely SLAMMED... He got a good 5 or 10 reels on the fish and all of a sudden noting but slack... The fish didn't get the hook...
I hit the Man Overboard on the GPS and we wasted no time and immediately headed back to that spot.... We weren't there a minute and this time he was more patient and let the fish take the hook and we were ready with the net...
Not sure what it weighed but we have a tape measure on our cooler and it was 2 inches over the 32 inch mark so we assumed probably 13 pounds.
