Caught a thief at LJ
He was trying to steal my bait.
Don't give me any crap about stiff arming.... It went 50.2 lbs at OEX, I shouldn't have bled it on the water but I was estimating/hoping for 40lbs out there. I launched at 7:00am, planned to troll a rapala out to deeper water and then work the irons and knife jigs. I dropped a dorado colored cd-14 about a 1/4 mile after the buoys and then got hit 2 minutes later. Ripped line like crazy on a brand new TLD-15 with 50# dark green power pro braid tied directly to the rapala. My gps showed he was towing me about 4 mph for several minutes, then started an up and down fight. It could hold it's depth so well that I was starting to get bummed it would be a bsb. I only needed one gaff shot, I noticed it had a couple other wounds, this fish was someone elses heartbreak recently. On the beach at 8:00am, how sweet is that? |

WOW!
Good job Dave! Glad you caught that beast now instead of when WCW rolls around...that would be a probable JP contender. 10 cases of YT Pale Ale. I'm just sayin'. Congrats on a trophy fish. I hope to catch a local YT that big sometime in my lifetime. Still shaking my head after looing at the pictures again. Just awesome man! Enjoy your weekend, you must be completely stoked! |

That thing is huge. I was confused for a second looking at the pic of it on deck. It dwarfs your legs and everything around it. Too bad you day was cut short at only 1 hr.

So the 50# kayak yt club now has three members. Larry, Arne, and now Dave. What is the LJ record for boaters? I heard a rumor the spearo record at LJ is 60#. Anyone have any hard data on either of those other records?
And congrats again Dave. This is about the 5th time I've checked this post just to look at those unreal pics . That thing looks photoshopped in your lap becuase the proportions are all wrong.

Way to go Dave! That's close to Larry's whopper. If you didn't bleed it, who knows? It sounds like we're talking a difference of 3.2 oz...
Congrats! |
