Today is one of those days I won’t forget. We have caught a lot of blue fin this year, but I dont ever really get a chance on the rod! So we did a fun trip today and I got more than my share. We caught 6 fish over 100 inches, I got to reel in 5 of them. We even caught a few on spinning gear. It was a great day with my friends, we all have sore arms.
