The water was gorgeous! The pictures don't even do it justice!!
The picnic is an annual event but this was the first one I attended. The food was so good and it was fun being with Sonny's fishing family. After the picnic there was a raffle that came to a screeching halt when 3-4 Cobia were spotted. As rods were snatched off pier carts and people started running. I took a seat on the cooler waiting for the run to be over so the raffle could be finished and I could head to the beach.
Within two minutes Hovatter was on the rail surrounded by what felt like 700 people to my non-crowd loving self. He hooked up with a Cobia that was approximately 60 pounds or so they tell me. I have to admit I was a little excited to watch him fight a big Cobia!

I took a video of him fighting the fish after he had been fighting it for about 20-25 minutes.
Please excuse the little yelling man I don't know him
The video cuts off before the fish broke off and swam away to freedom. Hovatter was such a good sport! I just love my fisherman!
After the commotion the raffle was finished and I headed to the beach to meet up with Amy and the Twins who couldn't stand it any longer and had already head down.
Overall it was a wonderful day! So ready for a fun summer!!!
