We crossed the bar about 11am and the coasties were there turning back boats under 30'. we were in a 32'. It was rough. We were told Sunday was alot sloppier. We were out there fishing when the little boats came by looking pretty much like porpises shooting across the top of the waves.

I lost a hatchery silver that was every bit as big as the one in your picture and maybe bigger. It was huge. I didn't cry. The biggest silver I've caught out there is a 19lb. buck. It was hooked nose and full of color. I didn't think they turned color till they hit the river.
