Holy s*** Man you guys are kicking ass with these monster bass. Very impressive. That fish you caught looks like it must be 50+ inches long!

It was..unless I get one that I'm really blown away by I won't weigh or measure it..but this fish kicked my ass for a while.

Finally got a chance to get out last night and had a stellar night...First one is my son, all of us on the boat were catching but he had a run of tough luck. He dropped two and had two freak break offs , needless to say he was a bit discouraged watching all of us catch, and even more so by watching me have the "hot hand" on the boat because he always wants to outfish me. Well on the last drift of the night I hear the words I'd been waiting for all night..."I'm on!! Holy Shit it feels big". And it sure was at 46 pounds ! This kid fishes hard, and it pays off.

And this is one of mine , no weight on it but it's the biggest fish I've caught so far. For scale I'm 6'2"..she's the fat girl I've been waiting to slurp my eel..Now to find her bigger sister!!

Looks like another good day/night on the water and you're son is experiencing something not many people will.I have fished three different areas in the last week,with plenty of fish at times,nothing of that size.Save some for me!

It is, pretty terrifying at times. It's normally very peaceful after most of the boats go in to dock and the wind dies down.

I have never taken my kayak into salt water in the dark. The "Jaws" theme music would be playing in my head the entire time. F that.

Get a wetsuit and come swimming with me at night some time...those splashes you'll hear are propbably only seals playing around in the water.

No stripes on this Bull Mahi..nice 45" long fish will be excellent dinner for a few nights !

I'm sure the smiles mean a lot to you if he's a good friend. Nice fish too

This weekend's morning high tide times are perfect for me, too bad forecasted 20+ mph winds out of the NE are going to keep me and my yak in freshwater. I may have to get some really light gear to make the LMB fights seem harder.

I was fishing all week with one or two other boats around.Tried to get another late night fishing trip in,but found more boats than fish.This is what it looks like when the word gets out.

This was Thursday evening,a commercial day.Boats were there right up to the end at midnight Thought we would miss it by going out at the end of the day.
