went out this morning and was on the water about 630. there were lots of boats out and i got in line with them and didnt see much happening with others and no stikes myself so decided to break away from the pack and fish in a little shallower water 70-80 ft. between bell bouy and last marker on spanish banks had a good hit that released from the clip but fish was gone pretty quick. brought that line in to add fresh chovie when bang other rodwith no flasher just chovie starts peeling out line and fight was on.had buddy clear other rod out and bring up downrigger ball out of the water (lost a nice one the other night on ball :wallbash
and played this fish.peeled off line turned around and came back towards boat with me reeling frantically to keep tension on. about 10 mins. later got him close and he jumped clear out of the water had a little run but i kept him close. had buddy ready with net got him close and buddy hauled him out. barely. he was bigger than my net. end result 33lb red spring and my first hog on my boat :thumbup: must learn how to post pic
