Got my first keeper about an hour ago.

By the marking on my rod it was a neat 28 inches!!!
Looked at it and decided that I want to catch it again when it
gets bigger!!

I picked up a few scales for proof. Anyone know how to tell a fishes age from the scales? is it like turtles?

I sure wish official weigh stations made spot calls!!!

Due to the weather I left my camera in the truck.
I will pick up a disposable camera for next time!!

Also caught a 14 inch schoolie moments later.
Both caught bout an hour after high tide with mackerel chunks
There will be pix next time.
