theres something to be said about 20lb class tails. great meat and the perfect amount of fight to get the blood flowing and still have enough energy to enjoy the rest of the day.

got this girl on the drift

and my buddy hooked this guy on the drop, within 5 mins of getting out. stuck on the back of the X factor to paddle in.
Kevin gives good advice.
tried going light, used a dive bag (the ones for lobster) to hold my squid over the side, one rod for squid jigs and another set up to drop bait. made for quick loading and unloaded and freed up a lot of space not needing the milk crate or bait tank.
