fishin on my mind....

Post by BKTomblin Jr »

An ole fishin buddy and I, went out this past thursday morning. We put in at the fort and went East out to I believe "St. Marks reef" ....anyhow we caught some throw-backs.. then hooked into and caught a 31' Cobia :lick: sweet ... but ofcourse we turned'em lose to go back an grow alittle more :D .... Just a short while later I hooked into a monster, that sucker light up my reel :D :D now understanding I only had 18 pd test... Yes, I did have a good steel leader on it but I let him run awhile :thumbup: then at each optune moment I reeled .... after bout 3-4 turns on the reel , my confidence grew !! then.... WHEE.......it would light up harder than ever (we were in 20 or so ft deep) and because of the way he ran, my find an I figure him to be a nice grouper :D After 15 minutes of fight, I felt a "POP" he broke my line :smt005 all that was left on that reel was so streched-out, wouldn't fish another day !!
Definetly a good way to break this new boat in

Those big fights are a lot of fun! Sure would have been nice if you got it to the boat for a picture and maybe the dinner plate....

If it was a screamer you probably hooked another cobe, or a tarpon.
