We found a lot of bait in 35-45 ft of water and we had very little boat traffic. Mark saw the next fish hit a large umbrella with no weight back 16 bars. The little 5'6" boat rod was almost doubled over
Mike (Garlien) grabbed the rod and complained all the way in saying, "How far back was this rod?". Well it started back 16; plus the drag taken:roll eyes:
Quite a few fish today started on one side of the boat and were netted on the opposite side (even board lines). My crew did a great job taking rods over and under other lines in order to lip the fish and get a measurement.
Another slot fish "close" to 40, but just shy.
