Only took over 20 years, but finally connected with a good one on a white spinner bait in one of the marinas.





Heart was pumping a bit with no net on board, but thankfully, Ron came through with the boga and I didn't have to make a phone call.



Needless to say, we were all pumped when the fish came on board! A fat one, right at 37 inches. Released and swam away fine.

Thanks to Capt. Paul for leading another angler to a Piketoberfest win. It's a lucky boat, for sure.
