Hit the sand without dad
« on: July 18, 2021, 03:34:40 PM »
Had a chance to fish with Theresa without my father, great change of pace.  First cast with the LC resulted in what I'm sure was a tanker WSB, burned 100 yards instantly before coming unbuttoned.  Later fished the same spot with a swimbait, the result was a smaller but still respectable WSB.  Measured just over 33", quick measurement and safely released.  Swam off strong, waving goodbye with it's tail............thank you for the pictures "T"

One of those times I was grateful for the line capacity of the vr50

Wow Verne!  Bravo sir!  That's a beautiful WSB from the surf, hell, even from a boat!

Nice job Verne! I've always wondered if there was a good way to carry a second rod when you're surf fishing.

The second rod holster is pretty rad. Fastest rod in the West!
