Rick, I didn't bring my tackles except a jigging reel and leader lines for topshot as the boat has excellent rods and reels for giant.
We didn't get out today because of windy condition. But as wind dies down this evening we plan to leave around 10:00 pm and head down to Southport, NC, located around 90 miles south of Morehead City as reports there are very promising. No poppers this time.
Commercial guys usually use a rod holder to fight a giant instead of a fighting chair to shorten fighting time.


my friends, Capt Mark and Eddie fighting a giant
