I hooked one about 10 years ago the day after Thanksgiving while sheephead fishing in Beaufort. It was every bit of 5 ft long. I had him on for about a full minute until he made one last run and broke my leader. I could hardly believe it myself. Global warming I guess.
Optiker- Dave was there for both of those. He is making a hard push for a full time position on the boat!
I want one!!! Good job!

Nice catch Dave, I’ll bet that was fun on light tackle.
