Managed to convince my son to join me on a quick trip out today. The weather looked iffy so we stayed close to home. It was dead calm at first but ended up being 15 knots or so when we called it quits. About 15 minuted into the trip, BZZZZzzzzzz, fish on. After some maneuvering between keeping the boat straight and not leaving my son and the rod get pulled into the water, he managed to land a nice 27 7/8"er. It was too close to keep (even thought he wanted to), so back she went. Surprisingly, the fish had sea lice on her. After two more knock downs (and fouled hooks) we decided it was time to head home. It was a fun day to be on the water with my son.
Joe - nice blog. Can't wait to get out there with the long rod this spring. Alex
