SUMMARY :
Tonight I got together with my brother after work and simply had one of the best two hours of fishing a person can have. Combined, my brother and I accounted for 18 fish. I had twice as many, but my brother had three quality fish of 23.1", 22.5", and 19.7" as opposed to my single quality fish. Conditions were perfect with cloudy skies and a perfect tide. Nights like these are few and far between.
