Nice fish.
Similar story happened to me down in OC, MD. Went out ocean bottom fishing and had a chance to enter the pool. The boat was at full capacity at 80 people and I think the pool was 5 bucks to enter. That's 400 bucks if everyone else had entered the pool. Minus my 5 for the pool and 25 (I think it was 25) for the trip, that's 370 bucks. I should have entered.
So I'm dropping my double rig down, when I think I hook up with a double. Turns out to be one bigass croaker. Must have weighed a few pounds. I was fishing catch and release. Gave it to the guys next to me and I think they won the pool with my fish. I still kick myself over it.
