1 for 2 today
Launched at 5am made bait straight out in front of the condo. Trolled around GB's one high, 1 low. Big scumbag followed me everwhere until another kayaker paddled by and I passed him off to a guy in a red top, he was pissed.
At about 7am I see my first ever YT school crashing the surface 10 or so yards in front of me. I quickly retrieve my flylined and toss it into the foray, I thumbed the spool and in 15 seconds I was violently on. It made 2 good runs did a 360 around me then it was under the yak, I had the gaff ready ...... pop! It was gonzo. Guaranteed no fircraker YT the way he towed me with authority. I retied a new hook, pinned on another GB (flylined) and went out to deeper water. Started to make bait when all of a sudden my flyline starts singing I pick it up set the hook after about 20 seconds and this guy is on again. Couple of runs, and to my surprise its a nice WSB. 49inches as measured by Hubbs Research Institute, 37.6lb weighed at the Dana Landing certified scale by Gene. Pictures taken by Adam (thank you). |

That guy took 3 baits from me. Luckily the Dolphin and New Seaforth pulled up and the dog lost interest in me. Great fish! Congrats.
