In September several years back Eric LaFleur and I caught and released 28 False Albacore while wading the north edge of the north Island flats at Monomoy. We were flyfishing and all those fish took the fly in 3 feet of water or less. There were hundreds of them constantly crashing bait all around us as the tide rose. He got 15 and I landed 13 never mind all we dropped or broke off. Damm near ran out of flies with my PB being 12-1/2 pounds. 8 wt's with monocore intermediate lines.
I doubt I will ever experience flyfishing like that again.
