Insane day on the water for so many reasons. Landed a couple really nice fish and had an insane catch on what I’m calling the one eyed Jack 😂 so to tell the story on this thing. I was fishing the Jack 6 by on a secondary point when I got snagged in an attempt to get it unstuck in somehow split the bait and pulled the whole eye, hook, and everything. The wind was ripping across this point so I decided to make one more cast with this lure before tying up a new lure and hooked into a solid fish. The second biggest of the day. Afterwards I ended up tying on the Quake and caught a tank!
