Finally got out to chase some large and when I launched and saw how many pogies were slapping the surface, I immediately tied on a large circle hook to have some fun. Unfortunately it was a full hour before the first take and what a take, brought me back to my first 50 up inside Hingham harbor. Damn near pulled the rod out of my hand and I'm glad I had the bail open and my finger on the braid. Two drag screaming runs and me screaming at a center console about to turn into my line. Based on the length and girth of this fish, I think she probably was a solid mid 40 lbs and I was happy to release her for another day. Disappointed that 2 more hours and with bait so thick you could snag them with almost no effort and only one other take. Was nice to feel the large pull me around on the yak, that was different.
