[Jigman13]

I did minimal sweetwater fishing this year. Had walleyes up to 27" on the river and some smallies, plus a pretty good run of spring stripes. I spent most of my time getting salty. Back bay stripers in the early spring, back bay fluking once the season opened, a handful of offshore tuna trips and one inshore bluefin trip this past May. Finished the open water season with solid tog action in our inlets and canals on jigs w fish up to 20" and scored some tasty winter flounder limits with fish up to 16.5".

My memorable catches were the 5+ lb largemouth I nailed while crappie jigging in March on 2 lb test and a 1/64th jig and the 60" bluefin I decked in May. I actually herniated a disc in my lower back on that fish. The 3 to 5' seas, faulty belt and harness (wasnt mine or fitted properly) and the power of the fish did a number on me. As payback I plated epic tartare and sushi turning it in bluefin poo. I win lol. Pics below.

Caught a lot of variety but no beasts in 2020. Oh, and I had the 'Rona. That sucked majorly...
