I don't take a ton of time off and am to the point I stopped getting additional vacation time so I took the afternoon off today - just in case the weather man is right for a change. Threw my bait net until I was ready to give up but did manage one gizzard. Hooked him on a down line and started pulling swim baits on my other lines. Nothing happening for the first pass. Decided I would head to the other side of the cove with the lines dragging. Kicked the trolling motor into high gear and was in 30 ft of water when my down line went crazy. After a five minute fight I managed to boat this hawg. 8 lbs and 28 inches. Biggest Hyrbird I have ever caught! only Hybrid of the day.
