i took my womans cousin fishing today(sun). michael had never fished the salt before so i figured id play deckhand a little. it turns out that hes a quick learner. despite being a lefty, michael learned quicker than any of my more "experienced" buddies. here he is trying to make a right handed reel work for a lefty he listened well and caught 2 bass, 2 tree fish, and had a 15 min battle on the 20# that ended with the fish being the winner. i think hes hooked now. he told me he dreamed about fishing that night in addition to michaels catch, i spanked the bass pretty well. i also caught a ling, some treefish, and a large shark of some sort. we also lost a few mystery fish on the 20 and 40#. the largest bass went 20" as seen in my goofy photo. here are my entries. thats 7 bass and a ling for me.
