Fiddy # plus change

3 trips...40 plus hours OTW...two all-nighters...one bite

50.2# WSB

Shimano Terramar Rod and Daiwa SL20SH...a GREAT battle! Had to break off kelp three times and thought I lost the fish each time.
Stuck around hoping for another or morning tails...for a zip...BUT my buddy on his boat gets a triple hook-up and passes a rod over to me. That counts, right?

Night time conditions were sucky 8 mph winds, choppy, chilly, stupid current went opposite the wind...
Six blisters including both butt cheeks, achilles and knees. Note to self when I get home: check inside waders for sand paper.
Accidently snagged a dolphin in the dark on a circle hook which proceeded to snapped the tip of my Cal Star rod, not a fun experience...
One berserk snagged seal which luckily broke off...

Another note to self...stow mirage drive plug in case a heavy lap load requires paddling in...

Counts somewhat if you get to eat it.

Nice to have a ride in. Congrats on the WSB.

WSB

With that kind of effort, and diaper rash to boot, you deserve that catch. What a beauty.

And the beat goes on, and on. So that was the rest of the story. Congratulations, awesome fish.

You are bad ass.

congrats

i bought a super light pair of thermals from sport chalet ( the see through kind ). i even wear them in summer to wick away moisture . without them on , the waders on top of skin is like wearing a glad bag . when i am done and strip down the waders , i am completely dry . i don't have the problem with the rash anymore . apologies for diverting the spot light .

Nicely Done!

3 Trips. One tow in. One big WSB....in October, well done. Very well done. I have fished many nights out there alone. They do occasionally pay off, they more often give you time to speculate on your place in this life, where you are at, where you want to go, and what you are. I respect anyone that does it. Period.

post script: asking stinky matt if he wanted to roll out with you, sounds alot like you having fun, and looking forward to yet another solo op. I do that too, to the same kind of guys.

Well done.
