So I finally got the skunk off the boat (schoolies didn't quite do it).
Fished 6AM outgoing tide in the fog. Jigged soft plastic in about 12 to 18 feet of water when BAM! This fat sloppy beautiful COW smacked the jig 10 feet from the bow. At first, she just sat there... then... ran like heck.
She came in at 33" and 16.5 lbs. Now that's one fag hog of a sloppy - beautiful bass!
While I was getting the camera ready, I put her in my bait tank...
Uhh, won't fit.
The release...
Then I went over to the Norwalk harbor and scored this beauty...
28" and 6 lbs. This one was much thinner.
The Norwalk bass was caught in 3' of water.
