Fishing report - July 25, 1014

This is the 1st time I've been able to get on the water since early June. My wife Cheryl was finally able to go out with me. We went to Lynnhaven after work today.  I used the new Mighty Mini for some fun. Around dusk I got a massive hit! By my estimate it was a 26-30" red drum. I fought it for a good 5 min. It was physically pulling my kayak from side to side. Then the disappointment. It bent the hook on the 1/2 oz jig head I was used & got off the just not 3 ft from the boat :-(. We had to leave shortly after that because we weren't rigging for night fishing. Hopefully better luck next time.
