Default Best Trip

5 years ago I was invited on a night trip to fish the Eugene Island platforms. Left from a friends camp at the point and got the the platform around 8 'oclock. Did not have a single bite until 11. Then, all of the sudden, it was as if the fishing gods had flipped a switch. 17-20 inch specks came on every single cast for the next 45 minutes. The tide slowed down and the trout got lockjaw. The next morning, as we attempted to pull these loaded down ice chests out the boat, the handles on one of the coolers completely snapped off because of the weight of the trout. We cleaned 89 hammer trout that morning. I'll post the pics of I can dig them up.
