Landed a 10'9" female tiger last night.

Completely alone from running the bait to releasing the fish. I dont advise this type behavior but iff someone cancels on you, it aint the end of the world.

I knew this was a solid fish after 15 seconds on the line but also didnt expect it to be a hammer and the conditions were good so I didnt call for back up.

Had her over the bar in 9 minutes and then on the sand in another 7 minutes. I was tethered to my sand spike so I was afraid to put that Avet Trx drag to work. She was still pullin when she gave her all.

Luckily I was able to beach her with the shore break, put my rod in the spike and run with the tail rope. Couldnt move her an inch unless I had a wave to work with. Couple selfies and am OK pic on the timer and off she went. Easy Peasy, awesome experience. 24/0 circle hook even popped out without an issue.

Pics will hit social media soon. I am not posting too much at a time b/c I like the beaches empty. last 3 out of 4 time I have been out, I have only seen one other guy out there, and he's a legend so he doesnt need to creep my page to decide when he wants to go!
