Went bottomfishing on Saturday when a school of AJs started investigating the boat at the surface. Caught several on topwater before Jerms broke out the 10wt and proceeded to work this 30+ lb Amberjack. This guy went straight to the bottom and after 20 minutes of constant pressure, we plucked him up out of the ocean for a few pictures. Released to fight another day.
That took some brass balls there cuz. I had a few follow me back to the boat last week but would not eat the popper. It got to windy and ruff before I could change up. I figured a fish of that size would have blown up my 10wt. Major skillz there man. Nice job.
Pillage and plunder with a 9wt and a fist full of clousers.
