Maybe if they were mostly 10-20 lbs you might leave after a bit, but 30lbers?

I would be interested to know how many people have had a night of legitimate 2 solid hours of 30lbers (say 6-10 fish @ 30lbs+) in the last 15 or 20 years from shore. Man that just seems like an unusual event these days. But maybe I just don't fish enough and the right places .

decksweeper and i got into 25-30 lb class for 3 hours straight last year. A night i will NEVER forget. He was picking up fish cast after cast, I was into 2 fish to his 6, and i was 50 yards south of him.
He calls me over to get to the rock he was on, which put me in a sticky situation going neck deep to get there for about 20 feet. I knew it was worth it, had to get there. When i finally got to the rock, a helping hand got me out of the water and the games begun

these fish were in front of us for A SOLID 3 HOURS, cast after cast. It got to the point where we were laughing like school children.

end of the night, exhausted, we enjoyed a couple of cold ones reminicing.





sorry to bring this night up again Joe figliuolo, I know hearing this makes you go back to therapy
