It was a tuff morning
Fly balls, grounders, uncovered bases
oh yea, this is fishin, not softball
We hit the water around 1pm with a brisk wind blowing "me, the wife and daughter", went strait to where I thought the fish should be "and a little wind protection"
rifted 1.3 foot ta 11 foot with NO bites, went to in front of Piney Island and drifted simular water, NO bites, folks getting restless
go back to where we started and tell em we'll drift to the main channle and go home
about half way through the drift, my CT goes under, set the hook and drag SINGS
about 5 seconds into the glory, I feel the tell, tell sighn of pump, pump, run
either a Cat or a Shark, the youngin grabs the net and awaits the catch
20 foot from the boat, with the pole still bent and several runns, the girl starts hollering for MOMA to take the net, cause it's a BIGUN
I convince her ta hold the net till he's about 6 foot from the boat and she hands me the net
Got him on board amongst much hooping and hollering
and am eating him as we talk
he was the only bite in the 2 1/2 hours we where out there
But he shure taste good and it only took 10 minutes to clean the slime from the project boat
