Caught my first large tonight 22 lbs.

When I got to the water, blues were everywhere. They shreaded a Tsunami so I tossed on a Pt Judith Joe sand-eel tin and hit a few more blues. Then got a nice bass, it was close to 28". (I don't carry a tape measure with me because I figure I'll know when I have a large fish.)

After the sun went down I changed spots and threw on a black sluggo. Every few casts I was on a nice fish. And then I had a big strike... my drag and rod started making noises that I've never heard before, I started talking to myself and hopping rocks trying to get a better place to land the fish. I knew this was a good fish. I got her in and she was the biggest fish I've landed from shore. I've put in a lot time this spring, she made it all worth-while.
