Beware Fri. the 13th!
Passed a couple kayakers just going out and heard a “Hey, nice fish!”. Looked up and saw Josh and his buddy- asked them how much they thought it weighed. Josh came over and took a closer look – “45 lbs” and his buddy nodded in agreement (right on-after bleeding the scale recorded 45 lbs 1 oz at 52"). OK, enough babbling. Pics can say it all. PS – Damien: sorry I couldn’t wait! . . . . . . . . . . . . Last edited by Vikingj; 05-14-2011 at 03:19 PM. Reason: fine tuning |

Wayne, congrats buddy!!!!!
I had a feeling it would happen while I was away! You were definitely due. All those no-fish LJ trips suddenly become all worth it eh? Great pics and story... I will finally get a chance to get back out there for more LJ humiliation this Thursday. In other words, anyone who wants a decent chance at a nice fish should avoid Thursday at all costs. ![]() ![]() |

It took quite bit of time on the water, it's definitely a very well earned fish, congrats on an excellent catch.

Talk about patience, but what a sweet payoff. I'm guessing you'll be back?
