LJ 5/20 last trip for awhile!!!
So we decide to troll back over the kelp and make a slow peddle in to call it for the day when my buddy hooks up on his first YT. The excitement gets me pumped again and I decide to troll around in front of the condo in 40-50ft of water por nada, except the slimy kind on a surface iron. Turning to head to the launch I'm super close to the seal beach swells, 15ft of water when boom, my line goes haywire! This dude ran at least 150yds before I had to turn and peddle to gain line as I was down to my spectra backing! After a little struggle in the kelp I finally get this little chunky 25lber to the yak! Ah final trip was a success! PS not sure who that dude in the pic was but thank you sir for the bag of ice!! |

Congrats on a nice Yellow, as your last memory. For a short while, we hope.

Awesome catch and even better, your new member to your family. I'm curious to know how you were rigged? I see in the pictures you have two Scotty mounts? Two dropper loops? Thanks

No dropper!
I was over the kelp Forrest in front of the condo, so dropper loop would be a tangle disaster for sure, I was flylinning over the top of the forest! Good luck brother!

Right!!
Yea man, we were chasing boils in front of the condo, but had to turn back as those monster swells were breaking really close! turned north and headed in. It was funny cause my FF got all distorted with the depth being so shallow.

Nick,
Congrats on the fish, but more importantly the new addition to your family. The first one is easy, the second one... well it's a little more interesting, but so much fun. Mine will be 5 and 7 this summer and it's without a doubt the best part of my life and once things settle, you'll find time to sneak out. Congrats again! |

Hey Nick-man...
I've raised a couple of girls...I'm thinking there can't be much of a difference between raising a girl from a boy, right? So...I'd like to offer up some free advice...a helpful suggestion...those shorts...your boys are not gonna want those shorts on down the road...so throw them out when you're over them. Hahahahahahahahaha!!!!!!

Funny how Jim only focuses on your shorts and not your fish. Wonder what he is looking for.

Nick, sounds like it's time to buy the tandem. While the kids are small, you can take them both along and start teaching the next generation. Hopefully they'll eventually return the favor and take you out in future decades!
