Made it out to 71 fow and a Red and black T-storm JR fired with a 7lb Coho. set it back out 5 mins later 10lb steel started dancing. Went quiet for about an hour, then the the first King about 10 lbs of the year fired on a silver Hookster with an orange ladder back 41 down 50ft back, and another Coho fired (double).
