There were mussels the size we'd be happy to have as marinara style in the stomach, I saw lines in the back, assumed female, revival didn't go well...honestly don't care about haters I made right choice in my mind,and some hungry people got fed, filleted to the bone plus stock... Sue me, but I still feel good...the # of large fish caught for another day makes up for it, it was all catch and release action for us anyway, just a few roasters and this baby...

Had a blast with light tackle on those school bass off Monmouth beach. Savage jigs were like candy. Scales had 3 on the fly. The bass had my surf brothers on the beach sprinting. The guy on the surf/fishing board was paddling out of the school of fish. He looked afraid of being eatin. See you out there tomorrow.
