I went out on the betty-o again today. i thought it deserved a second chance since yesterday held horrible fishing conditions. today was the opposite. it was pretty calm out there. i cought all the usual rockfish and a couple sanddabs, but nothing really big. the deckhand says to me "im waiting for you to catch your big one. dont let me down". well 5 mins after he said that, WHAM i get hit hard. im reelling it in and was surprised to see the biggest salmon grouper ive cought to date. that thing fought me all the way to the top. well im glad i gave this boat a second chance. it was the biggest fish on the boat but captain mike said we couldnt use our salmon grouper for the jackpot. not sure why. anyway, great fishing today on the Betty-O.
