Mr "T" and the "fool"
I don't have to tell you who the "fool" was today. I launched at about 5:30 or so. Went straight to the spot and threw my b/w salas until I was ready to puke. Since nothing was happening, except I saw another yaker hooked up briefly on a thresher, very early, I decided to make my way toward the pier to see if I could make some live bait. Made 4 spanish macs and 1 greenback in no time. With one flylined and one wieghted down I very slowly trolled back to the general area. I saw a big splash about 50 yards away and it was another thresher flying out of the water. A short time later my weighted line starts peeling out like crazy, I look behind and the next thing I know this thresher is right under my yak as if to say here I am! Then another threster shoots out of the water right behind me. I'm saying to myself there's no way this "T" on the side of my kayak is ready to come out of the water. Since I've never caught one and never saw one caught I'm thinking how big are the teeth on these? How sharp are the teeth on these? Are they man eaters!!! Before I lost my "man card" I quickly gave him some line then he was off to the races and eventually he busted me off (25lb line)
NEED ADVICE PLEASE ADVISE
Hooked into one more but he broke the surface and spit the bait out. Saw a couple of other guys do the same as me.
