First off, awesome catch and great video. Thank you for the report.

Second, I had a close encounter with a GW at County Line last year on the 4th of July. I gaffed a 35 lb sea bass in Deep Hole and let it bleed out over the side of the yak. About 3 hours later a 15' or more GW popped up behind a yaker that was about 30' away from me (down current). Thing goes into overdrive and circles the guy 3 or 4 times, scaring the hell out of him, turns my way and goes down. I thought I was next in line but it never came up again. Felt pretty bad for the guy who got circled since I was the one chumming...Fun day on the water. LOL...I'll be out there this weekend! haha
