Had plans on spending the day w my girl, convinced her to tan w a book up front while I fished in the little boat. Managed to get her up and we're on the water by 730 ish, trolling herring on a 6 rod spread. I picked off a few here and there in my usual spot, and around 930 I saw tons of marks on sidescan way out on the edge. Made a long slow U turn and got right on them. Downline went off, then a outside planer, and as were both fighting fish 3 more go off. I managed to shake 2 schoolies and she fought a tanker and I got 2 nice ones in. Sure enough the last planer goes sideways as were landing fish, 6 for 6 all fish landed, hers and the last one were tankers. Somehow I messed the gopro up and didnt get the pics of 4 fish together, was a killer shot. Afterwards I just ran 2 downlines thru them making passes, picked off a few more. Ended the day with 11 hybrids, and a 4-5lb cat that hit a high planer board line. She now likes fishing, she had the shakes after battling a fat hybrid......enjoy the pics

Had a few sat evening stripes myself. I fished from when I met you till dark. Ended up landing six from 18-22 inches and lost two I had hooked up and broke one more off in the trolling motor prop. Wicked wind almost all day but laid down nice for prime time!

Great job landing all those fish at once!!! First time I ever heard of that feat being done!!!!!
