Oh man, what a day - we are really on a roll now! I was back and forth with the party on whether we were going to try it or not today as the howling NE winds were pretty knarly. But, we decided to "pull the trigger" and, yowzah, yowzah, I'm so glad we did!!!

We paid for our bold decision as "Ralph", "Earl", and the "Buick Salesman" were out in full force in the heavy Atlantic Ocean seas in the morning. But the afternoon conditions changed dramatically, and it was a completely different day out there. It was as if Moses had waved his arms when the Atlantic Ocean the seas went slick calm (pronounced "slick cam").

Today, we did another long range deep drop Atlantic Ocean Black Sea Bass wreck fishing extravaganza for 7 intrepid Virginia anglers. It was supposed to be 8 guys who had signed up to go, but one guy decided not to go because he thought "we wouldn't catch anything". Man, I would have hated being that dude Friday morning with the realization he had just made a HUGE mistake when his buds called him and told him of their great fortunes. Oh yeah, I'm sure these fellas didn't rub it in a bit....NOT!

These 7 anglers stood in there and fished HARD like nobody's business and turbo whacked an astounding 162 keeper Black Sea Bass, 4 VA Release Citations were released, 5 Virginia Weight Citations of 5 pounds or better were weighed, countless Dawg Sharks were released, numerous undersized Black Sea Bass were released, a surprising 25 inch/6 pound Summer Flounder was released (out of season - DRAT!), several hideous Conger eeels released, and 6 Snapper Bluefish landed and stripped for bait.

Whew, did I get them all?

I'll tell you that these 7 fellas fished some of the toughest conditions I've seen out there after a pounding ride out to the wreck. Even after calling for "Ralph" these comitted anglers continued to fish as hard as they possibly could. They are all members of the Virginia Beach Anglers Club , The Portsmouth Anglers Club, and The Peninsula Saltwater Fishing Association.

Man, what a ride!
