Got out on BB this weekend. Stopped at Cleveland's ledge on the way out, scored some sea bass, and....had our net blow over board. Just before we could get there, it went bottom up and sank...blub blub blub.
So, anyway, we went to Woods Hole and proceeded to hook up a nice 30+ inch SB, got him to the boat and put my hand in his mouth (no net, right?), and....snap! Adios fish! Ho! Ho! Ho!
Managed to bang the boat on a green can in that 6 knot current too- kloong! (Wow!). Fortunately, no damage.
