Default 9/7 Sword cherry popped

I copied the report from the other site.

With 3/4 of Team Young Bull set for a half-nighter, Myself (thats Square Grouper, the cherry), Beerman, and Headfirst set out of SLI around 6:30 with one thing on our mind. A nice south breeze and a 2' chop made the ride out to the grounds quite nice and we all knew it was gonna be the night. But of course nobody said anything and we all kept our mouth shut. With an early start we had plenty of time to scout around for the right conditions and Dinkster was on lookout.
He points us in the right direction and we find just what we were looking for so out go the baits and we kick back for a bit.

While demonstrating various stategies and tactics that the Young Bulls use, Beerman points to his favorite rod with the top secret bait (Not a little squid ) and he calls the rod out. A little engine noise to compliment the spread and about ten minutes later it is game on on Beermans called rod.

I reel like there's no tommorow and come tight on the fish and we can tell he is a good fish right from the start 45 seconds later The other rod on the bow with a different top secret bait (Not a little squid ) starts ripping off drag. DOUBLE HOOKUP!!!!! Zack is on the rod and trying to reel to stay tight on his fish as it beelines right through the light and near my line as Zack is screaming OMG this is a BIG fish!!! Meanwhile Dinkster is doing one heck of a job clearing lines and we are in full mayhem mode

After 3 solid minutes of a double hookup, Zack fish gets dangerously close to mine and he has to come slack to get around my line. In an instant, his monster is gone.

I'm still hooked up solid moving around the boat as Zack takes the wheel and drives like a champ My fish makes a quick move to the surface and I'm yelling LIGHT!!!!! as Headink is still doing a masterfull job of clearing lines. I move to the bow to follow the fish and realize it has now become the Dinksters rid storage as I hop and skip around the obstacles. We get a brief glimpse of the fish and see he's a keeper and he decides to rip off another good run and the light fades away. Now I'm harnessed up and put some pressure on the fish to bring him up to the top. The light comes in view as Dink is yelling at Beerman to GET THE DART, the fish is coming up!! Haedfirst leaders the fish, bills him, and Zack is money with the dart shot Two minutes later and a thud and it looks like someone let Charles Manson loose in the cockpit.

Our celebration is short as we decide to set right back up for another shot since it's only about 9:30. We start our setup as an impressive lighting show is going off around us.

QQ.....to answer your question:

"And you Young Bulls had to have the help of an Old Bull traitor"

I object........that guy is not an old bull.....in fact he is a modern day miracle. He subsists solely on cigarettes, beer, and aged meat and cheese(along with a few other treats). Though he sometimes has a little touble in Walmart and has been known to be a little unbalanced at times, and we often find him staring out into space........he is still considered a young bull and probably forever will be. This is why he is on Team Young Bull.........plus he has a way with the lady's which wasnt forgotten when he got hitched which is a necessity of the younger generation He is the legend referred to as ......."Headfirst"
Why you ask?????? "Because I was born that way"
Tim will forever be considered a part of the young bulls.
