I was fishing with my daughter last night and had a so so start. Misjudged the clearance under the bridge at the Plymouth breakwater and bumped up the bimini top. :huh: No damage! Caught the first schoolie and handed off the rod to my daughter. After keeping her on the schoolies and some small blues I picked up a little 7' spinning rod setup with a 4" plastic minnow and landed a 38" 20lb(on the bathroom scale) after a lengthy battle with the drag. Biggest fish I have ever caught. I thought I was addicted before.... And the her reaction was priceless.

nice fish, congrats. - never underestimate the power of the 4 inch shad - especially in the summer when the bait is small. I have had decent fish take a pearl storm.

Thanks all.
Nice fish. Musta been fun on that 7ft rod.
Lotta fun. Penn 4400, 7' Ugly Stick & 30ib Power Pro. Funny what pops into your head "How long since I retied those knots?" "How strong is that hook?" " "Maybe I should have replaced that leader."

Way to go fellow east bridgewaterite!

There's something so great about a personal best...size doesn't matter!:eek5:

Couldn't give two cents about a 50#er(yet!),still trying to break 26lbs.24lbs is the closest I've come.

Btw sweet fish!
