Well my camera ran out of juice on me yesterday so I have no pics of the fish, but Yankee and Crazyfire can vouch for me.
I did a little fishing yesterday and it was a pretty normal fishing trip, other than the fact that I nearly had to go swimming after Yankees net. He was teaching me how to throw a 12 foot mullet net and on the second throw the wrist loop slipped off and into the water it went.......luckily we snagged the rope with a hook and got it back.....lol You should have seen the look on Yankee's face...hahaha. I'm starting to get the hang of them bigger nets.......but I think I'll stick with my little 8 footer for a little while.....lol. Anyway, I caught a cow nose ray and it looked like the night was going to be a miss, that is until my little rod starts screaming! I pick up the rod, let the circle hook do it's think and start fighting the fish. It was a good fight, nice hard pulling. I thought it was another ray until we hit it with the spot light, NICE bull red. Of course I left my pier net at home, but luckily I had a smaller net in the truck. Crazyfire climes down the rocks and nets it. We measured it at 40" and let her go. Kudos to Jeff (crazyfire)on the revive!
