So I get my personal best today and.....

my camera craps out on me! It wouldnt focus.

Not a cow by any stretch, 27.8
My biggest before this was 26.

Took a live bunker @ 6:30am, ran with it and I set the hook. I pulled the bunker right out of her mouth. Then the bunker was bobbing head out of the water and the bass turned came back and in one huge swallow took it right under again. All of this was taking place 20 yards from the boat, crystal clear water, no waves.
Heres a few beautiful shots (sh*t) before she swam away.

I got 2 more 15-18 and 4 bluefish. Great morning!

congrats man! Thats my luck too!

check to see if you had it on "macro" the only reason i say that is because the close up of the line is somewhat in focus.
