I was at the waters edge this morning by 3:45. (UDL on the canal) Bounced some light lead as the turn was happening for naught. Once it started running a little better I jumped in jig size. After about 40 drifts I get a nice hit that takes a little drag. Cool, fight is on. Fish is coming in nicely and almost at my feet and TWANG..... I knew my leader had a nick but figured it would be ok..... (I know better too)
Now it is getting a little lighter so I switch over to a large mackeral swimmer Chuck (linesider) gave me. It is swimming nicely when all of a sudden my drag is singing instantly. I go to set up, feeling the powerful fish and then nada. Whatever it was (tuna I think) spit the plug. I think it was charlie as the hit was the sameas when I used to tuna fish back in the 80s. Immense power I never could have stopped. If I didn't have a good grip on the rod it would have been gone.
Nice adrenalin rush though. Fish 2 me nada
