Nice Cow in Boston

Fished with my son yesterday, we got into a few good size blues (9-12lbs) trolling, then hit some hot spots. Bass were there big time. They were following each fish we brought in. We could see that some were large too, but most of the ones we were catching were just under size.
Finally a cow took my bait and gave me a super fight, as I prayed "please stay on". Once netted, the hook just fell out of her lip.
39 inches/20 lbs.
Gotta get back out there!!!!!

Harbor Blues

Had the Harbor Blues yesterday but not the swimming kind. Seemed like i drove all over and only around noon did we cross a broken up school of schoolie bass. Us and half the city of Boston it seemed were chasing these bass for a few hours and not having much success. This was off Deer Island but like i said I did travel. Anybody else have this lack of action or am I all alone?

Van,

The new one is doing well. he (and we) generally sleep every 3 1/2 hours.

I think he is fussy but the wife doesn't. He pretty much cries when he is awake unless he either has a bottle in his mouth or he is hiccuping (funny).
