| We went out for a couple hours last night stuck 1 flounder and this beast. Well see how she eats. Always wanted to stick something with some ass to it. Doubt I will do it again.

The scales on the small ones are like body armor. I couldn't imagine trying to gig one that big. Pretty crazy.

He wasnt too bad since my buddy was able to pin him down while I got another gig in him. grabbed his ass and slung him over the side of the boat. Stuck another one before this one and he got really pissed and about broke my gig.

I'm gonna put me a big gig in the boat just in case I run across another one I might try it. I only seen one this year and he was pretty close to the size of the one that you got but was in to deep of water to pin down if I would gigged him. I've already had my good stainless gigs bent up by some stud Sheephead before so I can only imagine what that big bastard would have done to it.

10-4 fishead. It wasnt a racist thing either was it? You know being able to gig black drum but not red drum. I wonder if that will "change"

That's def a huge one there! It reminded me of when we were younger and wadeing in the Gulf floundering one night and my cousin stuck a doormat and I watched his gig swim off to deeper water. He said he had a monster grip on it, all we could do was laugh. Nice job!

thanks for the replys. I dont know if it was wormy or not. I have a korean neighbor that I ended up giving it to for a bunch of her homemade eggrolls and a case of miller. I would have liked to try it but I couldnt refuse the offer!
