Must have been Paul at Blackbeards! I went to Blackbeards that morning to weigh it in but his scale was busted. So, I went to Goose Hummock to weigh it in. It actually weighed 29 lbs 8 oz. (Missed it by that much)
Paul took the picture for me because I was fishing alone and I like to keep a photo of my fish! Biggest fish I got last year.....not exactly what I was looking for but I was pleased! Funny thing was, I was renting a house in Wellfleet and I was down there by myself that night. The Red Sox were just beginning to blow game seven to the Yankees and the tide was high at midnight or 1:00 am so rather than sit there and watch Grady make history....I headed for the beach as scheduled according to tide. Got there and there were a couple sharpies there with same size fish, walked past them made a few casts and hooked that one. Just after I beached it, Redlite showed up and the bite had died, so we decided to hit a couple other spots with no luck! Nice fish though and it beat the hell out of watching the Sox that night! When Redlite showed up he told me the Sox did lose so I was happy I went out fishing! Thanks Christian for posting picture.
Fish looks like I jammed a 2 by 4 down its throat though!
