Visiting family again in Houston this weekend. Heavy AM rain kept us from hiting Surfside Beach at dawn. Late morning got the 9yr old off the couch and asked if he wanted to fish in a light rain or stay home on Switch, he chose fish. Kid hooked this black drum on 1/2" Shrimp Fish Bite triangle and a #1 circle hook using a 7' Daiwa Beef Stick and Pursuit III 4000 rig. We were at a park on the channel between Galveston Bay and Clear Lake. Not quite surf fishing, but a vote of confidence for Pursuit 4000 reels and Fish Bites. I had to fight this fish as it proved to big for my 9yr old. Fellow fisher dude hopped the dock rail and grabbed the fish for us. When I threw her back, was clearly +30lbs. Tightlines.
