40 +

In prior years I fished water that would guarantee mid teen to low twenty lb fish every night, rarely would I not land somthing in that range. This year I decided to fish "big fish " water more cosistantly. I will agree 40 lb + fish don't come on a consitant basis from the surf, but being willing to hunt more in big fish water paid off this year with three 40 lb + that are logged, and I believe I actually have a forth but need to go over the pics and my log. The number of 25 to 39 lb fish from the surf increased dramatically also. I would say that for the season as a whole I was consitant in the big fish catagory from the surf. Mid july and into the end of august were good boat times for me with a 47 and a 41 lb bass and at least 15 over 30 lbs. Hooking up is only 1/3 the battle, the gear is the other 1/3 and the experience is the last and deciding 1/3 in being consitant. I only lost 3 big fish out of the 40 or better I hooked up.
