Bucks Point- oh my god!!

Started out at 11, tried for the dinos, not much luck, but marked lots of schoolies, so I swiched to my spinniing rig- 30 lb mono(never again!) baited with pile worm and waited for the striper tap when... pump, set, load and LAUNCH!
Like a polaris missle! Im not one to spin a tall tail (!) but if it werent for the pics yesterday I would have to keep this to myself, it was TWICE as big as yesterdays. 8 feet? 9 feet??? bigger around than a telephone pole. Wow!!!
A true sea monster. So after the launch it snapped my pole in half on the first run, so I eased up the drag and let him pull me around for maybe 5 min, never surfacing but close, then snapped my mono. I tried for a pic of him but only got a shot of  my pole (!) during the ride. Oh yeah, I also got a little stiper. Saterday, they belong to us, OK?

Im not sure if this scared look is for me or what lies beneath!

Wow... Ben, you're on fire hooking two big dinos in a row!
Too bad you didn't have a video cam to record the incident.

Yes, a helmet cam would be epic!

when will be your next dino+striper hunting trip? You are on fire!

okay, I'm ready to try for one, Are you going out Saturday?

John

Welcome Fish hunter.

Wait till RCG season opens.  Then the real fun begins.  We can ALL catch those guys.......

Good luck to you guys on Saturday.  I wish I could join you but I have a loooong honey-do list. 

Guitarzan... hopefully with some help you can get a good measurement on one this time around.  I look forward to your report...  I love it when they launch out of the water when they get hooked.  Glad that you got to feel that awesome experience... bummer about your rod though.

Thanx kz, it was a cheep roddy rod, an uglystick look-alike, with a spinning reel, it broke 'cause I grabed it way too high with my left hand- all in all I got my $s worth out of it! Doh!
