Well we survived. Ride out was the worst part. Fished from the 09 to the 23, the 48 to 50. 2 for 2 before 7:30, released a 45 and boated a 50. We were getting slashes all night and had two fish make the reels sound pretty at the end (still think they weren't that big).
Two other boats were out - a 25 footer named Sword Dog and the Reel Bonus (I guess you guys are a 26...how did you end up?).
Nick billed this pup, got the hook out, and sent it back home
The post mortem poop
The 50 incher back at the dock after a fun ride home surfing the waves.
Side notes - coming off the backside of an 8 footer at 18 knots is scary, then it hurts. Also, you can still get your props out of the water in a following sea.
