Tyler McDuffie wanted to come to the beach and go fishing with her dad Sean for her 10th birthday. Once her dad told me that -I knew before we even met I had a good kid to take fishing. We were suppose to go inshore but I talked them into a nearshore king mackerel trip instead and I hoped I had not steered them wrong!
We had to run almost 20 miles to catch bait(round trip) and then headed back to the spot where we had caught them good the day before. The ocean was a little bumpy but Tyler said she was fine.
It wasn't long before the downrigger rod started screaming! The first fish dumped over half the spool and Sean and I agreed this might be a pretty big fish. Tyler fought it the entire time and when we finally got a look we all were impressed with the size of the fish! Ended up weighing 34.9 pounds. How's that for you first king mackerel at 10 years old!!!
The fish kept biting and we caught plenty more before we had to leave... Tyler even let her dad catch a few. What great people and a great trip...
Happy Birthday Tyler your one heck of a angler!!!
