One is better than none... Congrats on the skunk breaker...

Went out from 4pm to 5:30. 2 perch, combined length under 10”. A few more nibbles, probably the same size. Both on camo gulp. Switched to bloodworm gulp - no takers.

Tamarack 3-22-26. 1 8" BSP on the c-rig grub. I hooked something so large I could not pull it in and then it shook the hook.

Same happened to me last week, C-Rig Gulp worm, thought I snagged as couldn't pull the line, but then felt some head shakes and line started zipping from the reel, I probably adjusted drag too high in order to stop so it cut off.
I suspect it was either ray or guitarfish, what else big like that will take Gulp worm. That what makes surf fishing so exciting, you never know what kind of monsters lurking there and what you can hook.

Nick has a great fisherman tale on hooking up Great White, entertaining reading.
