New PB
45.3lbs caught this morning around 3am. After around 2000 casts it was finally in the cardsafter a heart breaker last week that had to go close to 50 that broke off 3 feet from the rock I was fishing.

The best part of it all for me was spending a few minutes in the surf with her and watching her swim away. There isnt anything in the world that can duplicate that feeling.

Well done, and the hard way, too, it appears.
Thanks for letting her live to breed, you've done us all a service and it speaks volumes about you.

The United States Constitution does not exist to grant you rights; those rights are inherent within you. Rather it exists to frame a limited government so that those natural rights can be exercised freely.
1984 was a warning, not a guidebook!
It's time more people spoke up with the truth. Every time we let a leftist lie go uncorrected, the commies get stronger.

Thanks for all the replies. I let most fish over 25lbs go as they contribute in a very large way to the future of this sport. I do keep the occasional 28-36" fish for the table but very much enjoy seeing them swim off. Some quick pics and weight and they are usually back in the water in under 2 minutes after I get my hands on them. I spent some extra time with this one in a very rough surf, which only added to the memory. After a lot of hard work I feel very grateful she passed my way,finally. Still hoping for that 50..............I know they are here where I fish. I might have very well had one on last week. I bit of patience and maybe she will come.
