So you might be thinking I hooked into a nice sized fish and then lost it, this wasn't the case tonight.
At around 945 pm I reeled in a nice 10lb blue 29", awesome fight. A friend that I was with said that he would keep it so we put it 10 feet behind us. About 5 minutes later my friend asks me "Where did you put the fish?" I said I didn't put in anywhere,and what do you mean it was there 5 minutes ago.
The fish wasn't there I thought I was going crazy but the fish was nowhere to be found. He then said maybe a rat or a bum took it. How could that be? We would of heard him -but a Rat? how the **** is a rat going to drag a 10 lb blue away? We were confused. Then we saw little handprints in the sand. I said no way that's the same track a raccoon makes. We then followed the track and found a 25-35 lb raccoon feasting on our bluefish, he must of been hungry because he ate half of it.....lol.....
