Unexpected catch

Caught a 32" cod on a 7.5" rigged bubble gum sluggo in the surf tonight. Couldn't have been in more than 4' feet of water. Really surprised me when I saw what it was. I've caught cod from shore before but always in deeper water and on slower moving offerings, storm shads bounced along the bottom. Anyone else ever get a cod on a sluggo?

Not on a Sluggo but got one about 8 pounds on a Clouser minnow and my Flyrod at a creek opening in Sandwich a few years back while fishing for December holdovers.

Why even try.........

Had the same thing happen to me at the same spot, Josh. About two years ago. Was dark and surprised the ___ outta me too!
