Pensacola beach PIER 12/4 AM REPORT

John B. · 12-04-2007, 06:45 PM

got to the pier about 8:30... pretty darn cold... lots of bird activity and what-not, a sure sign for winter bobo's... i saw some bluefish in the draw, didn't wanna lose my jig so i went to the end and saw 3 bonita already on the deck.... 5 minutes later, i hooked up with one... but JEREMY (JHogue) thought it would be funny to tighten down my drag when i set my rod down, ..so as soon as i hooked up... pop... 4# test + locked drag + 5lb bonita = :banghead:banghead:banghead a few bonita were caught and at 9:30, i was walking off to go to work, i had gone about 5 steps when i see everyone scramble for their tackleboxes and ling rods... i looked over and there was a stud mako on top, all of 8-9 feet, solid 300lbs... no one ever got a steel leader tied on in time, and away he went... definatly one of the coolest things i've ever seen... that's the 7th mako i've seen off the pier in the last year & 1/2:bowdown

I think he might have been bigger than that, it was a stud for sure.
