A school of Jacks were busting, looked like a tsunami smashing against a sea wall. First cast with no strike, then I cast under a dock with my 8' rod, and bam fish on. The drag was just singing, didn't think the fish would ever slow down, finally it did. Standing on a sea wall with boat ramp beside me I was hoping my line would hold, a tumble backwards would have been quite a drop. Luckily I had respooled yesterday and wanted to try out 20# stealth braid, pretty nice stuff. Quite a battle and I wasn't sure I was going to land it, the jack was swimming near a cement pylon, eased up on the drag and let it swim away from the obstruction. Gaining ground on the fish I walk gingerly back down the side of the boat ramp, back on solid ground I pull it up the boat ramp, I had no net.
