Took me forever to get it in and I was thinking it was a real good fish. Had it hooked in the dorsal. To prove to my buddies it wasn't %$%$%$%$ luck, on the very next cast I hooked another fish in the dorsal. It turned out to be a 3" choggie.

Was there early Friday morning and had all kinds of fun! Saw a bunch of S-Bers, talked to a few but it is amazing to see that many people out fishing and not working....I bet a lot of sick days were used last week. I actually planned on taking this day off a few weeks ago and things worked out well.

Mike I was very impressed with your deft skills and ability to snag that choggie. You my friend epitomize the word "sharpie". S-B did some work last week for sure.

Its extra special to expereince things like that when in good company.
Here's another interesting catch. You'd think with half a tail this fish would have come straight in. It fought like hell though.
