Nice one, bro. Been more decades that care to think about since hooked into a cuda. It was 1971 staying at the Newport in Miami that has the pier. Was throwing a cuda tube when what looked like a log shot out from under pier, took off, and turned the reel to scrap. On my bucket list to have a rematch sometime if I ride down to see my sister in Sebring LOL

Went yesterday at the fishing beach yesterday with my slurp pump I made at home thinking I'm going to catch all sorts of ghost shrimp, to my undelight water is to murky to see the holes, 😂. Anyways only bait I had was some off brand fish gum, ( Magic bait).😅 That stuff magically keeps the fish away from your hook.😂. Anyways no luck. Going prepared today though, got some squid, and bringing my flea rake and my cast net. Wish me luck.🤟
