Down in your neck of the woods out of 105 feet of water. I was running a full 300 feet of wire out so I was down about 40 feet.
That would be the "ONE"

Yup, I've had one of those, it's like a movie that keeps playing over and over in your head

It always ends the same way, too...

"There is no royal road to this heavy surf-fishing. With all the appliances for comfort experience can suggest, there is a certain amount of hard work to be done and exposure to be bourne as a part of the price of success." From "Striped Bass," Scribner's Magazine, 1881.

No, I know better... and I protect my back at all costs in my line of work. Can you survive a week roofing or framing on my crew?

First of all, re-read my post. Second, 71# or not, it's still a nice fish. It's spring, everyone is jonseing to get tight. You should go find RappinMikey to loosen up....
