Valentine's evening bay soak

[raychavez91]

Wasn't expecting to get a chance to fish Sunday and surprise surprise gf mentioned she wanted to fish the bay. Score.
Got there at roughly 5 to an incredibly packed Fiesta island, took 2 round trips to find a spot I'd settle with.
Fished it till 8, she got got 2 pull down from butterfly rays.
Today we brought the light gear to soak for the bats.
At 8:30 we got to the new spot. She got the hot stick. And got absolutely owned on the 20#braid. No chance of this ray slowing down as it was spooling her and ended up busting the line since we had to thumb it.
Re-rig a mack chunk. Bendo 5 mins again after she casted. Really good fight followed by a nice 40" bat hitting the sand.

Release it and see my rod go bendo. This 1 I whipped quick, didn't measure, but i'd say 40" aswell.
Packed up in the next hr as we had no more solid hits.
Had in n out after and twas a good night

Fishing isn't what my wife would call a Valentine's Day option.  You lucky bastard!
