New gun 1st fish!
For those of you that don't know, my gun was stolen a couple of months ago off of our work boat. Maybe someone can tell me who is responsible, legally, for gear left overnight on a boat. The company is giving me a hard time about replacing the gun even though the "captian" assured us that they would be safe overnight and that the company would cover the cost of the gun after the robbery! The "Captain" had $3000+ of his gear replaced the very next day. Anyway I was able to get my hands on a new gun (Riffe metal tech #3) FINALLY and had just the spot in mind. I have been stalking this black's big brother for the last week. He is a 40+ black. However today this guy was hanging around the same hole. Passed on a 8+ lb Mutton and a 5lb YT while cahsing this guy back to his hole. He was much skinnier when I got done. 24lbs gutted but looks like good eats
Caught 3 BIG eggers but had to let them go. But limited out yesterday.

Re: New gun 1st fish!
Nice fish! Ha, makes sense. I'm 6'3 220lbs, I thought I had it rough with making my fish look small. My girlfriends like 5'1 and 100lbs and all the fish she holds look monstrous!
