The Wifes big catch

Well---It's not a cat but some of you guys can appreciate it.

Although the fight seems like an hour--it was most likely about 10 to 15 minutes.

This fish spooled out the reel before she got it flipped.

The drum was over 36 inches long as it was longer that the yard stick we had to measure it.

It buried the bait stores 50# scale and the guy at the bait store guessed it at about 60#.

As you can see --the wife can't hold it and was dropping it before i could take the pic.

It was caught on a whole squid while pier fishing in Port Isabel.

It took me and another guy to lift it up out of the water--Thank goodness he had a heavy rope.

I'm very proud of her.
