LJ Fish
As I loaded this fish pic into my BWE album, I definitely noticed a pattern with my best catches...my most memorable yak moments...ALL of these catches were solo trips, at off times or places. I've now realized that I've NEVER caught a tail or wsb while amongst the "flotilla" (but one day I will!). I'm still missing my "on the water photo"... Similar situation with this fish (a bit dated, sorry), it was just me and one boat out on the water. I stuck around for another (6) hours trying to get a second fish but no, this wasn't a hot bite or anything close to it. It was a ground and pound that worked out this time. (5) trips, (5) ass freezings...40 hours on the water...two seals landed (!)...one lost radio...two wipeouts upon landings...one fish...43.8#'s... Last edited by Deamon; 03-11-2013 at 04:52 PM. |

Sounds familar but more like (15) trips, (15) ass freezings...100+hrs for most I know! Congrats on a well earned catch. Thanks for sharing. |

Interesting observation, it's been pretty much similar for myself as well.

Nice catch. Can you fit the fish in your hatch on the way in or just find some space under or along side your legs when pedaling in? Hard work pays off eventually, and you as much as anyone else deserve a fish like that after all the WFO bites that have happened around you(us) with little to show for it.
Despite your observation on when you catch I hope to get many opportunities to fish with you this year. |

AWESOME CATCH!!!!
your last sentence reminds me of the 15 or so trips I made to LJ before I caught my first WSB........minus the wipe outs It looks like 15 is the magic number.

Way to go Jim!
This couldn't have happened to a nicer guy. Jim is a friendly guy who puts in his time and is fun to fish with. Looks like the ninja missions work after all!
