got that right... my first legal hali was caught with sheer dumb luck... throw out a fluke off shelter island at a spot i've fished at lots of times doing the same method and catching nothing but bass and very tiny baby butts and start "walking the dog" back to the car and my line stops... feels like dead weight of some grass, so i gave a small snap to set hook just in case.. and start to pull in a boot... next thing i know 15ft from me violent head shakes, and a few short runs taking line as my buddies were pulling up "FISH ON!!!" he yells jumping out the care "DO YOU NEED A NET??!!?!?!" "I THINK SO" i replied... next thing you know im holding my first legal but.....will never forget how i felt that moment... so now i pack a gaff and a net on all my escapades
