Jeff, Joe, Frank and I were West of you guys and headed back to the docks when you were landing that slob.
Congrats on a fish of a lifetime. I know you put your time and it was inevitable.
Jeff asked me to head out again this coming Thursday and we'll see if we are to be Blessed or not.

Thats true Jeff, if you are out there on the weekend hit me up I would love to buddy boat with you guys and cover some water. I have not fished with you ever since the old school Santa Ana River Lakes days when you me and Brian Friedman was fishing the pipes. That day I had a 39lb stringer looking forward to fish with you again.

It never crossed my mind that I would lose the fish, I stayed focus on getting the fish in a pattern so I could get it to the boat. It was an experience that is etched into my mind for life, I am still in awe and amazed about this past couple weeks.

Thank you for giving me a call to congratulate me Mike, you are correct on a 10' rod its very very hard to gain line or get any leverage on the fish. My back was hurting after that fight but it was all worth it.

Until this fish was landed I too thought it was a story that you only see in the papers. What a year!
