Well we're out at benbrook and got our rods set up at About 5:00 probably 45 min in I have a takedown on my little $20 academy special with a whole thread fin/15lb mono/and a 5ot circle hook. After a good fight finally got her landed. Weighed in at 33lbs.






Well I was rebaiting that rod and one of my 12ft uglysticks doubled over. Reeled down on her and the fight was on. Got her about 20yds out and she took off rippin drag. Finally got her in snapped some pics took measurements and sent her on her way. Weighed in at 25lbs.



I would say overall a pretty good night and some pretty good fish. These were my first 2 blues I've ever caught so I have a pretty good pb to beat now!! All fish were released to fight again.

Nice benbrook blue congrats...doing your time pays off! Trust me there is bigger blues in there. They love that spot in the winter. There is another spot they like to stack up.Hope u don't find it lol. Keep at it and you will catch you a new pb again. But might want to get you a new scale. Don't mean to offend.
