Did manage 1 Gag and 1 King on free lined greenback,was'nt expecting that,bout spooled me. After 2 hrs of shorts and cut offs decided to troll Oar reefs for a while, huge bait pods every where.

We could not even get the cuda to bite out there on K-tower, though my bud kept throwing everything he had at 'em. Those first two sharks were enough for me.
We did get some kingfish over the OAR reef trolling later, and lost a monster cobia (~70lbs) right at the boat with two missed gaff shots, after a 25 minute fight. If you see that fish, I want my lure back!!
