Man, I feel your pain. 4 days ago, during the north-east blow, I hooked and fought a fish over 48" and lost her during the landing, all because I didnt have a set spot to land. While I was making my way down to get her, she completly exhausted and laying flat in a spot 5 ft from me, the hook slipped out and the next wave she was gone. I was/am completly devastated as I have 12 out of the last 14 days in the surf and this was complete inexcusable error on my part. Was she a 50? I will never know but will say I think she was fatter/bigger than the 48 I got last year. Someone commeted thats its best not to know and have them break-off in the fight.....I would rather that have happened than actually see the thing with my own two eyes for 10 seconds. I re-run this in my mind over and over and still cant believe I let this fish slip away....completly devastated.
