Old Man and the Sea 10/1 am

You know where this is going... Launched around 5:30am absolutely beautiful conditions flat glassy conditions. I make some bait just outside the buoys. get a couple rockfish off the bottom with my iron. then I start spotting some bait on the surface I throw the iron and I bring up an approx 4lb Bonita. I have a friend that loves Bonita so I bleed it inside my yak, after the last death shivers I put a rope thru its mouth and gills and let it set in the water while I start another slow troll. After about ten minutes I feel an odd bumping under my kayak. I pull up the 2ft. nylon rope and I see something very close to this


mouth wide open with my Bonita in its mouth. I screamed like a school girl and grabbed my wire cutter and instantly cut my rope. Half of the bonita was gone "that fast" so I took the rope out of its mouth and thru the half eaten Bonita back into the water. I counted my blessings and thought to myself "I won't be hangin' no stinkin bloody fish from the side anymore"
