The Big Fish Story:
We were drifting out of a creek about 2 hours before low tide. We were just beyond a little slough, casting live shrimp on a jig head over it, and retrieving through it very slowly. I saw an oyster bed on a point next to the slough and casted to the right of it. I had a little loop in my line, on my reel, so i let out line and fixed it, fixing it took about 10 or 15 seconds. After fixing the loop and coincidentally letting the bait sit on the bottom, I pulled the shrimp about a foot or two and then i got snagged on the bed, or so i thought, i gave a pretty good pull and then the line began rising and the fish surfaced and then began to fight. It was a very fun fight because he took about 2 or 3 runs and when we landed him, he ripped part of our net. These kind of fish remind me of how inspiring catching big fish are.
