I am new to this fourm and im not to sure where and if we can post pictures. Anyway Ive always fished from shore as I dont have a boat which I would love to have. All we catch from shore is junkie fish like Sheephead and Channel Cat. I was out at my spot last sunday and though I had a bunch of weeds so I went to set the hook to see and bam I hooked this thing. We had no net so had to walk it around to the beach area and lift it out.
