Stetson Blaylock spent more than an hour working a couple of submerged reefs, watching his electronics and dropping to fish. It didn’t get him a bite.
Until he moved to a sharp drop and set the hook on a throwback, followed by a second 3-pounder that went into the livewell.
However, the catch didn’t help him much – he only added an ounce to his weight.
He has about 15 1/2 pounds in the livewell, and he said most of that came this morning.
“I caught most of what I have early, and then it got brutal after that,” Blaylock said.
