Re: Surprise Weakfish !!
This Weak fought, according to my brother, like a trout. He ran deep and off to the side, we thought he was a striper for certain. When it came up you could see its bronze colors and wow he was pretty. The fish grunted when we got him onboard like crazy, deep, gutteral sounds that actually vibrated the deck.
The Weaks are a rarity, they exist and some guys target them but I have never caught one before. The fish weighed a bit over 9 lbs on the boga grip. My brother said it was the best fish he ever ate from the sound.
We did tag one Striper that night on a chunk of bunker, a smaller fish at about 27 inches or so. Great night all around.
