Default Whale of a day of Fish Monger

Got to the boat Capt Jerry was up at the inlet checking out conditions. He decided it was a go and what a great choice it was. Very good life shorts and keepers mixed in. Boat limit 12 man and some Cod mixed in. Middle of the day I reeled up to check my bait and whammmmmmm spool scream rod bent over, I thumbed the spool to put a little pressure on what I thought was going to be a World Record Striper. But nooooooooooo apparently a hump backed whale guys saw it on the other side of the boat I was lapped over under the boat. It spooled me and it was gone. Luckily it appeared the hook some how got undone as one angler on the opposite side of the boat caught a small fish tangle in my line. The mate hand line up my braid so thank goodness the fish didn't get tangle up in it. Couple of us with Double Limits (ORL) other with limits. My friend Rob V was the Cod Father with 4 nice size keeper Cod. Damn I love togging
