Back when International Scouts ruled the sand I used to go fishing with my father and uncle and their fishing buddies overnights out on the outer beach. I imagine most kids my age would have rather stayed home playing their Atari 2600's, but I loved being out on the sand overnight.
My uncle hooked up and fought it for a while, then he told he was 'too tired' and for me to finish her off. I thought it was a submarine I was reeling in, but there was no way I was going to get beat. This was my video game heh. Besides, he helped me with the rod
Finally got her in the sand and she was 38#, caught on eels. Always on eels I remember.
I've caught some around that size since then, but that was the most memorable one for me.
The good ole days of Nauset
