Hit Joe's spot

[vdisney]

After being encouraged by Joe's reports I took Tony out last night for a short session (school night) looking for bats. My first hookup ended up in a 35 minute tug o war, even passing the rod off to Tony twice (getting too old for this crap). When I got to the water's edge to do the "sand hand" duty I saw the beast, had to be mid 50's. Long story short as soon as I started to reach for the shock leader it broke my 60# fluoro leader. After that Tony landed 6 of them up to 45", had one break the hook and another he couldn't stop (close to spooling him on his SSV 7500). All in all we had about a dozen screamers with 3 being true monsters. They're a few weeks late but at least they're showing up

Bummer about loosing the monster, but I couldn't be happier for you Verne!
You definitely deserved a session like that! 

[spideyjg]

When you but gets kicked and you can't bear to hook another you cannot beat that type of session. Congrats Verne!

 Right on Verne! Bin wondering when they'd show up?

I bet it was worth the wait. That's is a lot of action for a short session.
