Brought the long rods out today !! Great time !

Finally got a chance to go fishing, hit the local spot with my girlfriend.
Got there around 6 so maybe had an hour left before sunset.. We were talking like we haven't got any fish from the shore in a long time. So I look at her like wtf your killing the moment. Haha.. About 20 minutes before sunset the 12' footer starts screaming!!! Got a good hook up and Game over from there, nearly spoiled me and I had the reel pretty much button downed.. About minutes later the biggest bat Ray I have ever caught finally shows her self... Was trying to get her to the sand and maybe 3 feet from actually getting her out of the water line breaks..boy was it a great fight.. I personally prefer bringing the long rods instead of the swimbaits, luckycrafts etc
Great sunset and great fishing !!
Rod used was 12' t blade
Reel penn spin fisher 4500LL (poor reel) gave her a work out at all full drag
Bat Ray Easily 120lb+

Way to put a GOOD bend in the rod. Great sunset battle shots. Sorry it broke off, but just call it a quick release.

Love the bendo shots. Always get the heart pumping. Funny how you always feel like you have got that bat landed and then they just kinda glue themselves to the sand in the skinny and get five times heavier....LOL
Sorry about the loss but like Don said..... It was just a short distance release and you avoided the dreaded "Bat Slime".

Thanks for sharing!
