Very Nice John!
Congratulations on the Personal Best. When you are out there fishing and the time comes that you haul that personal best to the sand the memory of the day, the fight and the thoughts that go through your mind seem to stay etched in your memory fo a long time............Just part of the reason some of us fish.
Congratulations again!
WTG John!!! I love the way you get you exercise in the morning!! Its kinda like doing reps with weights, riiiiight? Yahhhh, THAT's it. Just trying to stay healthy. Not to mention the extra points for team Fogey's!!!! Thanks for the good read and the points!!

Mikey asked:
Tailhook was near the mouth with the middle hook latched on top both with two points hooked deep. Front hook seem to hook and unlatch depending on what direction it decided to go, thats what it felt like to me. I could feel what felt like a hook coming off but it stayed latched.......was a cool ride.....You didn't mention where you had him hooked.
thx Mikey......

Thx Peter.....was crazy good time, I was looking up and down the bech for ANYBODY to give me a hand but nobody around....lol......good times...Great catch John. That's a big kittie and I know those things are a fun fight. They do tire you out and they always manage to trick you when you think you finally got them tired and do one last big drag run. Congrats on the PB.
