He told me the head was 45#, but it was only 18" and had to release it...

It's not the bait
At the end of your line
It's the fishing hole
Where all the fish is blind

Back in the 90s I was fishing Deep Hole one morning with 2 other guys. It was August and all we were catching were Blues. My friend Mike is about 20 yards away from me and yells for me to look straight out. There were 3 fins circling us. Looked to be 6' Blue Sharks. We backed out in a hurry as we were waist deep in water.

No boat, back in the suds.
