April Sub

[THE DARKHORSE]

But, I couldn't resist. The original idea was to just throw my donation into the pot---then, Deepdvr started talkin' smack about kicking my a$$!

The temptation was just too great. I guess I do still have a little competitor inside; just like all of you. Anyway, after entering late and a full schedule the past couple of weeks---I blew it in more ways than one. I had a couple of shots, but wasn't too concerned at the time, with a week left to catch a monster White Sea Bass.

Then, you might have noticed, the surf was a mess and the conditions completely changed. The ocean rolled and that was that.

So, with no further ado', here's my measly Yellowtail to submit for April.


And my tape shot.

Apparently, the Starvin' Marvin of the school; a skinny 39" fish that weighed 24 lbs. Arm-breaking fight on the surface-iron, though.

After the conditions rolled---I changed gears. I haven't fished for Halibut in a very long time. After fishing them for around a about four hours---I remembered why. Without some patience in a can, I don't know how you guys do it all the time.


I love holding the rod when you get that one, solid thump, though. I'm not sure if it was because I entered this silly tournament or the fact that I haven't fished for Halibut in so long---but, I was excited to see her at color.

The tape shot.

A fat and healthy specimen measuring 38" and weighing 23 lbs on the nose. I'm guessing the poor fish gorged herself silly all last year, too. Not the slam I was expecting, but I'll take it.

Who's next?

[THE DARKHORSE]

Instead of opening up a new WCW submission thread each month, I'll just continue my original WCW thread here.

So here's my nuts and bolts photo requirements for my monthly submission--- without the novella!


A healthy Yellowtail to start the month of off. They don't get much prettier. Ain't she a 'beaut, Carl?

The tape shot...

Yellowtail caught on bait; 38" at the fork, but very solid from head to tail weighing 23 lbs.


I kind of underestimated the size of this fish at first, but her size was obvious when I did this and almost went for a swim. Who needs the gym?


A 55" blimp of a fish weighing 56 lbs 13 oz---caught on bait.

[THE DARKHORSE]

Here's the Halibut I was looking for...notice the gaff shot in the upper left shoulder.


And here's her bigger sister...in my right hand! The only thing better than one woman is two, right?


This photo is a little deceiving as it makes the fish look shorter than she is (39 7/8"). Going 25 lbs and change.



This was pretty good day. I landed this Yellowtail on my first cast with the surface-iron and never trolled a bait (27 lbs and change). A full on arm-breaker on the Ulua, too! (5 point artificial bonus!)



Good luck to all in the month of June.

Lets just say the Halibut got lucky this month. A couple of heartbreaks indeed. Like I always say: a Halibut isn't caught until she's in the ice-chest!
