Water temps had risen drastically, and having a red tide usually means for a tough night of fishing.
Made a long run North not finding any bait till I was above the rocks. made one good throw, and we were off to fish. Seeing a few fish being picked up on spoons I knew we would have a shot at fish.
Eric had the hot hand last night, having over twice the bites as the rest of the guys, and was bringing them in at a good pace.
Steve had our smallest live line bass of the year at 32" , and David was still waiting to come tight on one while his dad and Eric had a pick going.
Finally David gets the bite we were there for. and his bait runner is screaming off line.
Sets the hook and works the fish back through tight stacked four footers, to the boat.The bass makes one more burst boatside until I slip the net under a nice spawned out 46 pounder (on the digital) . Our biggest one this spring.
All the bigger fish including the 46 were RELEASED to fight another day. Watching that big Broom tail wave good bye is def something that never grows old .
Congrats David on a another super bass, and sticking with it through the trip knowing it can happen any minute.
Tough ride home, but was worth it
