15 inch whiting, Langston caught rod when it was falling in the water

Well went for about two hours to fish the surf and it was a tough bite. There was hardly any wind and the water was pretty flat with clouds, and it was hard to find anomalies in the water to see channels through the sandbars, let alone to even see where the sandbars where. Didn’t help the tide was very weak but I was trying to fish in the time I had. I used sand fleas with a piece of fish bite on each hook for one rod and the other using pieces of shrimp with a piece of fish bite to see if I would get different results. Nothing really, I kept trying different areas to find the shelves by feeling how the weight dragged and did find one spot where I got hit almost immediately by this whiting to save the skunk, and moved my other rod and got a strike immediately after, getting a few strikes but nothing getting hooked, the bait stayed on and I thought the bite was on but then suddenly I couldn’t get anything. Definitely a little tougher day but at least I got a whiting and not any stinky catfish🤷‍♂️. Hoping to get back out there again when it’s a little wavier and better tide flow and hopefully I can locate some whiting and pompano. Hope y’all enjoy my long report😂. Fish on🎣🤙🏼
