Thanks for the props Dave!!! Lucky was the word of the day for me.

I knew that sucker was on the small side when I hooked him but he looked north of 10lbs. For awhile, I was really regretting bleeding him out as I was nervously imagining him weighing only 9 lb. 11 oz on the scale.

I pre-fished Friday and sighted alot of YT so I knew they were out there and I even spooked a couple puddlers before I hooked up. I was one of the first ones out fishing past the condo but the large mob was migrating south and I knew that wouldn't help me catch fish. What really screwed it up in my mind was the New Seaforth cruising right into the area before heading into deeper water. I guarantee most of those dogs that were harassing everyone came off the New Seaforth's stern.

That was the hardest 45 minute kick back but when Paul Lebowitz told me I had the first fish on the beach.....

Thanks again to everyone who made this event possible!
