The Tavagliones and I headed down to fish under the Hathaway Bridge in Panama City Beach. We brought multiple big game setups from an Avet 80W to cast out shark rods. We put out whole bonita, whole bluefish, cut ladyfish, and multiple live bait rigs with pinfish of all sizes. The fishing was slow until after dark when we finally hooked into something big!

All right, on my way to Hathaway Bridge in Panama City Beach.
We're going to try something a little different tonight. We're going to drop some big baits
just right off the bridge, off the walkway. So got about an hour drive ahead of me and
we'll get back to you when we get there. All right, got the weight on there too.
What?
Kind of got to sidearm it. There we go.
I do, you just don't catch them. Hopefully he's got a bait we can use.
Might be a little mangrove.
Oh, a giant pinfish.
Now we got one. Good one. Reel that one back in.
Yep.
Yeah, he did. All right, this ought to get something now.
Oh, you want to reel that one up real quick.
All right, put another pinfish out.
Ah, ouch. Oh, I hate this. Oh god, got me again. Son of a gun. All right,
could be a black drum. If it is, we'll want to walk them over there, okay? Can't let them get
that bridge. Yeah, that's not a catfish. Good, it's good for you.
Oh, oh man, that's a big one. That's a nice one. Nice. Yep, there you go. Go under.
Just let them wear out though. Dude, that's a good one, man. That's bigger than you thought.
Look, he's got a couple hooks in them. Yep, we're gonna need the pliers.
Yep, I'm not gonna be able to get that. Holy moly, that's a good one, man.
This boy's big, man. All right, now get the tape measure out.
I knew we'd get something if we stayed. That's freaking awesome.
All right, let's get the tape on them. Nice dots. All right, let me squeeze the tail.
Okay, so 36 plus 3, 39 inches. That's awesome. All right, buddy.
Oh yeah, that's sleek. All right. Shoot, I about fell over. There we go. You ready? He's just about
ready. Sweet. He gone.
