Striped Bass #1
Check this out, I was on fishing trolling for Stripers and when it was my turn and a rod went off, a fellow buddy grabbed the rod to hand it over but accidently opened the spool causing a unbelievable back lash aka “Birds Nest”! Man I had to pull this fish by hand LOL! That was a first but wouldn’t be the last!

LOL Jim. Getting this fish by hand was not something I signed up for it just happened twice! The first time due to a killer birds nest, so I grab a pair of gloves and got to work. It was like pulling a one of those marine batteries up hill LOL! The second fish was a lot easier. We weren't sure how long it had been hooked on the dummy line. But when I pulled it in, she was done. If you look at her close you can see she lost all her color.

If I get out the remainder of July it will probably be a crappie stalk on the coastal marsh……
