I caught this Beauty at 6:06pm off the Boat Launch side of the Lagoon. I was down to my last 15 yds. of line (Maxima 8 lb.ultra green)on my reel so I was casting right pass the rocks not expecting catch anything really.. I was using just a regular split shot set-up with a 6 inch Berkley green worm (ya the ones that come with the poles!)
Imagine my surprise when I got a "tug" from this Fish.. Luckily I was surrounded by plenty of onlookers to cheer me on, and even got a lifeguard to weigh it and take a picture. This makes up for all the days that Ive come home from the lake with nothing more then an empty pack of cigarettes and a farmers tan. Not a record, but my personal best and a great christening of my new Abu Garcia silvermax Baitcaster Rod n Reel that I got as a present from my Family (Love you Liz and Jeremy!)
