Since I\'m a newbie, here's my story......
I grew up in upstate NY, my moms boss used to haul his boat all the way down to annapolis and we woud hit the water at sunrise and be trawlling for blues all day with plastic eels.
as time would wear on the dog would be whinning to go relieve himself so bad he would stand in the back corner and relieve himself fully expecting to be reprimanded . any way we would be cruising along and every now and thn we would hit a school and "Fish On" . My pole was just gently swaying dragging that plastic eel when the gods of fishing smiled upon me. My rod tip was practically in the water, we cut the engings reeled up the other lines and I'm fighting the biggest blue we have hit, he was trying to swim all the way from left to the right. It was all I could do to keep reeling, seeing the looks of pride from my folks and all on the boat. just as i didn't think i would ever see this 15lb or biggr monster. ( Blues will thrash and shake so bad they will tear off their jaws just to keep from being boated) My fish breaks the surface, and to my dismay and everyones laughter, My line and eel had hooked a 3lb'er broadside under the backbone & was being dragged side ways to his doom.
