Anybody else get schooled this weekend????

Post by Heywood »

It happened to me for the second weekend in a row, there is a rather large snuke running around Tampa Bay with a pearl Exude stuck in his or her jaw :cry: :cry: :cry:

I up scaled to 40 lb leader, but that only lasted a few minutes longer than the 30 lb I used last week. Chewed right threw it.

On another note, the misquitos were the worst I have ever seen in over 30 years of fishing the south shore, had to pull in the hospital on the way home for a transfusion :shock:

Saturday my stepdad got schooled by one of the biggest trout I ever seen in my life, it was pushing 30" and very well may have been gator status, the 20lb flouro didnt hold well against its yellow mouthed, snaggle teeth :shock: He lost it boatside... it now has a "electric chicken" 3x softbait in its mouth.

In spite of the bloodsuckers I did manage some reds including a beautiful 32 incher that towed me around for a while. :D

Sure did, by a purple and silver submarine. If it was an ounce, it was 110. It now owns a black tarpon slider.

A 6.87 lb. tarpon took you to school?

I would have posted that on the West Side Forum too...

That tarpon on Saturday was bigger even than the ones you lie about jumping. And I have a witness.

And it was appropriate to post in the West Coast forum.
