Decides to head out to Ocean Shores and throw a line in the surf... hour before high tide.. Weather was nice, light offshore wind. Fished about 3 hours.. got a couple good hits way out (could have been crabs), nothing landed.Told myself "5 more casts" next cast I was retrieving the line and about 20ft out..BAM.. hooked into a pretty nice slab.. No pictures.. I figured I only caught 1.. might as well let him go. I may go back on the 14th and try again.. surf perch are one of the most fun fish to catch!
