"Last night we rolled into the big fish zone and dropped the anchor," said the report from Qualifier 105 November 7. "It was around 1 am and it was windy choppy and deep water. We had a hell of a time getting the anchor to hold but after an hour or so of dragging then stopping then dragging then stopping we hung. The weather was bad in the morning but we made the most of it. For the day, we only had five bites, landed four of those fish and split to the north in the afternoon. Frank Baldwin started us off with a big fish. Then Dennis Murphy hooked and landed a nice one. Next was Donna Manuszak with a big toad, and the last was Gary Gelson with a fish that had a lot of heart. It took a few laps around the boat and was not coming up to color. When it did it was a brute staying at deep color forever. Finally, we gaffed the thing and pulled it over the rail to some high fives. We are not staying here. The amount of fish is not enough to keep us here. We will head up tonight."
