Yes, 25 feet in front of his dock. We were throwing out large game fish pellets feeding the wipers and the SMB were in the mix dukeing it out with the wipers for their fair share.
We were kind of cheating, by using the same pellet for bait as we were feeding the fish. So don't think of me as any master angler or anything.
Kind of more like shooting fish in a barrel. But TJ wanted us to see one of his pride and joy fish up close, so what better or fun way of capturing one???
Using Aqua-Max game fish pellets that looked big enough to choke a horse. The wipers and SMB were gulping them down. I bet we fed a gallon or two and the fish were still hungry when we left.
Actually caught one a little bigger than in the picture but let it go at dock side without lifting it up out of the water for pics.
Carolynn had a wiper on also that got off the hook when it got close to the dock. TJ wanted her to feel first hand the power that they have, and she did. Drag definitely got a workout.
Fun, fun.
