Absolutely fantastic. Those bigguns are scary huge. I have caught red drum (formerly called "channel bass") up and down the east coast and in the Gulf of Mexico off Florida, Lousiana and Texas. Can't even begin to estimate how many I have caught, but my biggest ever was maybe 36". Can't imagine how hard a 53" fish would pull. You done good. And that whole Chesapeake Bay is a real fish factory. Unbelievable how many species you can get there. And the oysters, clams and crabs ain't bad neither.
