Left Edisto Beach at about 430 hoping to get to 140’ and troll to the ledge. After playing cat and mouse with two container ships in the rain (thank God for 4-G radar) lines in about 30 min after daylight - as this was to be for Wahoo, all lines were wire leaders. Put a #4 planer down like a downrigger with a rubberband release to a purple-black-mylar Islander/double hook bally - same rig on the other corner with a 16oz cigar weight in-line, and way back on the center a black-red heavy crome jethead in front of a dh-bally. Blue-white-mylar in front of ballies on each outrigger. First hit off the planner: a cuda - clear all the lines which (means handlining the planer back up plus cigar-weight line - pain in the ass with one guy on the rod and the other clearing the lines and manning the helm) - anway get him to the boat re-rig, etc. 2nd hit: a small brown shark with white spots (I’m no shark fisherman so you tell me what brand he was), re-rig get the lines back out, 3rd hit: cuda, 4th hit: same shark or his cousin, frustrated but keep trolling out. Get to the ledge, corner cigar-weight goes off, and my turn on the rod - fish made a nice run peeling about 150yards off of 30lb and dogs it, head shaking all the way - turns out to be the largest cuda I’ve ever see come in a boat - had to be 60+lbs, over 5’long and a row of teeth 10"long. Nice fish but not what I’m looking for. Finally get all lines back in the water but this time replaced the fixed big planer with an in-line #3 planer on the rod - trolled out to about 350’ with water-temp just getting warmer, so headed back to the ledge - right at the ledge, the in-line planer rod goes off - two nice runs, head shaking and yes a nice 35lb wahoo. Worked the ledge for another hour and decided to try some bottom drops around the Edisto Banks with no luck. Fished about 10 numbers on the way back in with no luck except BSB. Tried high-speed jigging plus various whole dead bait and chunks of fresh cuda but no luck on the good stuff 
OK my confession . . . and an appea
