DP 10/15/14
Dumped a nice head shaker on a dropper greenie.
Caught a nice 8-10lb bone on a flyline greenie. Busted off a screamer before I could get it out of the holder. Did not retie leader after the dumped fish. Doh! Paddle back in about 3/4mile to rebait. Found 4 more greens. Reset and dropped back down. Slow Slow Slow Screamer! Got it out of the holder and fought the toughest fish I can remember. It fought strong and long. Got it yakside and I flipped. New new local PB, and new OC PB. 45in fork 34lbs http://i56.photobucket.com/albums/g1...psd6393a11.jpg http://i56.photobucket.com/albums/g1...ps6e3cd2c5.jpg http://i56.photobucket.com/albums/g1...psaf29f3a8.jpg |
Congrats!!! :luxhello:
You flipped too??!! |
Thanks for sharing your story, in the end, it all seems worth it.
|
Sweetness! Let's keep this "Summer" going! :D
|
Awesome fish, this summer just seems like its not going to end.
|
Awesome! Hope this years influx of inshore beasts become a new set of homeguards for the next couple years. I stress much more the entire fight when I have not retied than I would for the 2 minutes of lost fishing time from the retie. But I still continue to put it off :eek::confused:

I can tie on a new hook with a Palomar in 30 seconds. On a boat there was no sense in trying to retrieve the hook so I always wrapped the line around my ankle and "snapped" the hook off or cut it off to force me to retie. Trying to retrieve a hook can take almost as much time as tying on a new one! Also after getting wrapped in kelp I take my line and run it through my fingers "feeling" for frays. It is' a necessary evil. There's nothing like bringing a huge fish up only to feel the :linesnap: and upon checking your line it broke at a frayed spot! :mad: It took me a couple of 3/5-day trips and many lost fish to figure that out! (Along with some ribbing from the skippers/deckhands I knew or the ones that knew I would take it in stride). By the time I went on my first 7-day on the RP it was drilled into us by the crew after landing each huge tuna (150#'ers+ on that trip). I lost a couple at color that were estimated over 150lb. Then one over 200# (estimated at 225# on a 10-day Excel) after working him for just over 2 hours(?) and almost being spooled twice on my 50SW, because I hadn't checked the line after landing my last fish(that one I'll always remember as that would have been my personal best!) :mad: :the_finger: With the size/type of fish showing up out here, I'd be out there with fresh line (not used more than 3X or any top-shot). Knowing the amount of talent here on this site I would not be surprised, if someone really wanted to...I'm sure that someone could have a chance to set a record! :D FFY :sifone: |
Can a dropper loop be tied using flouro? Or is it too brittle to do?
|
Nice fish and nice old school report :cheers1:
|
