Personal best 41 Incher

Type: Chesapeake
Region: Eastern
Location: Bouy 83a

We had another beautiful day on the Chesapeake Bay thanks to the Good LORD! We spent the day trolling with Capt. Steve Goins on the Sandpiper along with Capt. Jerry Swartz.

We were in good company as always, and there was a lot of experience and knowledge to be shared from the both of them. I was able to land my personal best rockfish at 41 inches (26 lbs. & 22 inch girth). I was so pumped and remained in that state for the rest of the trip. It happened at about 8:30-9:00 am on the "way back" rod running tandem chutes with big eye black heads and 9" white shad. She was double hooked and definitely not getting loose. Thanks again to Capt. Steve and Jerry for their knowledge and experience for putting me on this fish. The fish was caught just south of bouy 83a.
