Chris Plonner took us one a day trip to West End. This was a scouting trip for new numbers. We had a slow day then decided to hit an old number Chris had close by. It was the best spot of the day. Schools of yellow jack, hogfish, grouper, and cubera. This was the second yellow jack i shot on this spot and I was glad I had a belt reel. Chris and Ned stayed close to keep the sharks off me. I got a head shot but not a stone shot so it was a good fight.
