I agree it is hard to go back to bass fishing after an offshore day like that. The rush you get from feeling a big fish like that is just tearing line at will off the reel at a pace that you just can't believe is mindboggling...the tug of war when he parks himself at 200' and will not budge and you really are putting heat on him... You feel pumped for days. You need to go scup fishing to bring yourself back to earth.
Nice catch! I have not got one that big on spinning gear...yet.
