I had a little something something on the end of the jig. As soon as it got close or touched bottom , I got slammed . With a treble hanging out of his mouth , it was pretty much game over . Gaff shot and half a dozen love taps with my tire thumper and its game over . Depth 150 ' - 160 ' . Water temp 61.5 degrees . Approximate time 10:00 a.m. . Sky's were blue with calm winds . Ocean was very calm and almost slack . When I cut open his stomach it was empty except for a handful of gravel . Short strikes and near misses ? This fish was probably very hungry . Tight lines everyone . Put on your thermals and get out there . When I woke up there was ice on my pickup .
