Had Mungo & Sam with me yesterday so I played host / guide / shrink.
Sam made the mistake of catching his first Red on his first cast & that was it for him. He's in & he's fighting what appears to be a monster Reds from underneath a dock, around pilings, between boats. This fish is giving him a hard time, his rod is bent, his drag pulling, Sam's on the boat one minute the next he's on the dock. Pushing his rod & reel underwater, thru a narrow space between the piling & the dock. It's been awhile since Sam caught a Red & wasn't prepared for the fight.
While all this action is underway, I'm yelling words of encouragement, it's more like an episode of Scared Straight. You know where the old inmate is screaming insults at the kid. Turn to Mungo for help, maybe he can get the net but Mungo has stopped fishing, he's sitting down, unable to move, because he's doubled over laughing hysterically with tears running down his face........
After Mungo regained control of his composure. We did manage to fool a few Reds & Mungo's Black Drum with Gulp Shrimp, another 26" Red on MR17 & a handful smallish Trout.
Oh yeah, Sam aka DockTour will need more couch time with the shrink to talk him thru his ordeal. He did land his Red but that was all for him...... ICM
