For me, and I'm sure Luds48 also, it was the Friday before Memorial Day. Tried a new spot on a hunch and it payed off big time. My first cast with a chartruse a-salt just before total darkness I hooked into a monster that I lost at my feet to the sampo duo lock snap straitening in the undertow (after seeing the 36 lb that I landed soon after, I know this one was at least 40). I was crushed. Switched to a black 9" sluggo and caught 5 fish on 5 casts from 25-36 lbs (the 36 lb placed second in a local tourney and netted me $300 in prize money). Fishing slowed down after that but we had a steady pick of 15-28 lbs fish the rest of the night on bassmaster and gags black needles. Just before dawn we switched spots to a more familier one and continued catching 20 lb class fish right up until sunrise. The rest of that weekend was great too but nothing compared to that night.
