Dennis, here's one for the book also.
I'm fishing Deep Hole with 2 friends. We got in the water at about 2:00 AM and we had a slow pick of small fish.
So a little after dawn we quit and headed off the bar as the tide is dead low. Now there is a small hole on the right side (or there use to be) of the bar that hold some water, with dry land all around it, at dead low tide.
This old guy in his mid to late 70s is walking out onto the bar and headed for the hole. He has, no lie, a 5 foot freshwater rod with a Zebco close faced reel and a green Jitterbug on it.
First cast into what little water there is in this hole and there is a swirl the size of a bathtub. The guy is on big time! The reel disintergrates in front of us and Mike, who is one of the guys with me say, I got to go help this old bas#@*&ed. Long story short the fish weighted 39lbs 15ozs.
The worst part is the guys says to us "This is easy! This is the first time I ever went surfcasting."
Now this was probably 1987 so it was during the lean years. I told him that he would be dead before he got another fish that size.
Absolutely true story
