Nice Rockfish for This Kid

Type: Chesapeake
Region: Mid Bay
Location: Out of Chesapeake Beach

Ten year old Nicholas Pirchio, of Owings, MD, and his dad were trolling the morning of Sunday, May 10th out of Chesapeake Beach in very foggy conditions. This thick, 35 inch rockfish took a chartreuse umbrella in 34 feet of water and made for a memorable ten minute fight.
