Late report for Monday
My son and daughter in law are in town from Japan with my new grandson. I told them before they left we would have yellow tail sashimi. Got up early but it was 37 degrees in my yard , so I went back to bed. Afternoon had a little wind on it, but was still nice. Easy bait at the can. I decided to just head straight out when I see birds diving way out side. I flew out as fast as I could stopping just short of the boil. Thats when I noticed my bail was open and 500 yards of line was out with my surface iron on it. As I was cranking the line in ,my fly line goes off. I started to set the reel with the iron on it down when the fly line goes still. I went ahead and pulled the rest of the line in and got one shot at the boil that came right at me. Hook up. I new it was'nt that big, but I did have 40 lb line on and I was in 150 ft depth, so I horsed it in. Before I got it in, the boils quit, the birds left and for an hour I never saw anything, so I came in. 16 lbs on the b/w surface iron. Thanks Don for making my fish look so big. Date on the photo is wrong. 12 10 2007 |
