Got there around 2030 And left about 2430
After we set up a couple came down and stayed with us untill about 2230, they didn't catch any thing.
My dad went back to the truck to grab some thing when his reel started to scream, so I grabbed it and set the hook. I thought it was a ray at first because it just felt like dead weight on the end, but as I brought it in closer I felt a few head shakes. It was a Nice 3 pounder

My dad about to let her go.
About an hour later as the couple next too us were about to pack up, my reel starts screaming. I grab it, and idiot me turns off the clicker and tried to set the hook like that while it was in free spool. Some how this fish is still on. I turn off the free spool and right as I go to start reeling him in, my line goes slack. The one that got away. I estimated this fish to be about 3,000 pounds, and about 50 feet long.
Both fish were caught on squid.
Parting shots
