Friday we had the Feurgeson gang out for an awesome day of Bassing, we went out the inlet and found some bunker within 15 minutes that looked like it had some live to it. Well Brain had his first pick up that ran like missle from the pod. After a good fight first bass in the boat at 36lbs. Everyone else had some pick ups and some had some yellow eyed demons bite them off, but then Brain is sitting in the corner all quite and he says" Capt I think I am in it again" and after this fish almost spools him and 15 minutes later Brain had this monster 45 lb Bass up to the boat, my mate screemed Capt buy a bigger net or give me the gaff. We stopped in to Hoffmans to verify the weight and yes 45lbs 2oz, We never saw another fish, that sun came up the boat traffic picked up and the day was over, but they were real happy they brought Brain along.
