Invited Sil240sxrwd on a fishing trip to Willow Beach this morning. We were going to leave at 1am, but I'm an A## and I slept in. Sorry James. I woke up at near 4 somethin' and decided I would go out for a couple hours anyway. I already had the gear together - didn't want to waste the morning.
Launched the boat at 5:20am and started trolling my giant 13" hand-carved A/C Plug. Some way into the troll, the lovely BUZZZ of my clicker came. I jumped into action and drove the hooks home. 150 yds of line later, the beast is boatside and I notice I am net-less. We wrestle a little, but I got her in the boat without gettin' a hook in my hand. Don't know the weight, I can't find my scale. I turned back and headed in, seeing that I didn't bring an ice chest and I wanted her to stay fresh. I was off the water at 6:45.
I normally release my catch, but she popped a gill during the fight and would not swim off after the blood loss. Dinner time!
