what 2 do with leftover bait from a shark skunk
 

After getting skunked all morning trying to catch a shark I decided to paddle in. Had 2 tiny little 6" or 7" macs left in the bait tank so I rigged up for hali and slowly drifted into the harbor and back towards mothers beach. Got all the way to the public fishing dock and was about to call it a day when WHAMO!this butt hits my line then makes a run and takes out every fishermans line that was fishing off the dock (this is when I love 50# braid :) ). Love how a skunk day can turn around so fast. Measured in at 31 and 3/4 inches.http://i1225.photobucket.com/albums/...magejpeg_2.jpg

I smell din din...nice way to end a slow day, that's why I always cast one more after the last cast...lol:reeling:

You should go see a doctor, your neck is bleeding.

Real men rub sand in their wounds and keep fishing

That is awesome!:luxhello: I'm puttin' the over/under of curse-words yelled by the pier guys at +25:sifone:

Way to go William!

Don't drip Hali slime all over the kitchen or your wife will have your kayak in storage before you can say "But honey!"

Congrats!

Awesome, you know how many times I have wished for that exact scenario?

I did the same yesterday except catching butt:(
congrats Wiliam.

@blitzburg-you can see them in the background on th
e edge of the dock gathering their poles haha
@matt-thanks man. My dad wanted to know how to fillet halo so I soiled his house!
@premo-missed you out there today. Weathers gonna be rough for awhile

Oh and premo my home made baby gaff worked!

Nice fish. You just never know when a nice one will get hungry.

All it takes is one bite to turn around a slow day...even at the 11th hour.

Nice!

nice! :cheers1:

A great use of left over bait. At least you weren't eating it, like many have succumbed to doing :biggrinjester:

Haha, maybe if they were spanish mackies I could sashimi a couple up but never the greenies.

:D

Those fish are no good....you should give it to me so that I can dispose of it.....properly

Oh no george! I already ate it, am I gonna die:(

NICE ONE!

I had what I hoped was a big halibut foul me into the mexicans fishing on the breakwall.Turned out to be batman,but at least I learned some new spanish that is not appropriate to share.Good to see one come out of NPH recently.Those wallbangers and rental boats hit that area pretty hard.Next time I go for a thresher out of NPH I am going to have a mac on the bottom as well as a flyline.

:cheers1:

Yeah T bone and its sad because half those rental skiffs have no clue about a size limit our care if they do know. Pretty fished out. But I think these guys are coming in from outside to spawn. My friend I was with said that the lighter and cleaner the belly looks, the less time the fish has spent in the harbor. I don't know if this is true our not? sounded good though. I'm curious to se what these storms are going to do to the fishing in the next week. It might be time to stop chasing shark and put some time in chasing butt
