: Finally caught my 7 gil. trying to figure out how to upload pictures
: Treecatcher April 01, 2018, 10:51:58 AM
Hit up a new spot for both me and Jerry. Line in the water around 630. Tossed out half a Mack and kept getting critter bites for the first hour and also tossed around a few jerkbaits for nothing. Around 8, I move my spike to a different spot and noticed a soft shell sand crab crawl out where I stuck the ground. Toss out my big pole and headed back to my gear andset up a Carolina rig for the sand crab. Right when I was about to tie my hook, I look at my rod and it’s taking line. Run about 20 ft to my rod, set my hook and fish on! First thing I see is a tail whip. Two minutes later half of its body comes out the water. About 15-20 minutes later I’m able to bring it in. The homie immediately recognized that it was a 7 Gil. He helps me pull in in and guides me exactly what to do. Taped out at 67 inches! So stoked for my first 7gil! Had to chop off the wire leader. Set up again and here comes the waiting game. Finished setting up my Carolina rig and 5 minutes later hook onto this little guy around 9. This guy was probably around 20 inches. Idk what species if you guys can help out. Around ten I hook onto this ray. Gives some good runs. This one was a little hard to beach. Taped out at 35.5inches. Definitely one of my favorite spots now. Ended the night at the batray meet up. It was nice to meet everyone. nothing but good vibes. Hopefully I could get out there and fish with you guys in the future!

Yeah, you really need to use a third party photo sharing site like Imgur to post.  Chad will help you out, but congrats on the Sevengill!

No problemo!
I use postimages.org
It allows you to pick what size you want them when you do the upload.
You can set up your a profile with folders and all that and then once they are uploaded, you just copy the "hotlink for forums" link and paste it into your thread.  and it's totally free  :D

Congrats on the Sevengill as others were saying!  Once you get one, it takes the pressure off and makes catching the next one seem so much quicker.
