Decent Early Season Fish..

Was on the Cape at first light this morning, they were hungry and wouldn't lay off the smack-it popper or Bernzy's surf howdy. Lots of decent fish around, fantastic top-water action.

Took it for the grill tonight with some beers and corn on the cobb for the Celtics game. I figured since I am in the Striper Cup and I am going to keep it to eat, I might as well weigh it in for S-B.

Went 27.8lbs on the digital scale.
