GOT THE HAT TRICK TODAY

[mmiller36]

3 days....3 fish.



bribed my boss with two hamachi collars and a big fillet. He gave me the day off to try for the trifecta. Slept in and didn't hit the water till early afternoon. The honey hole looked dead so I hit the outside in water deeper than I normally fish (135'). Soaked an overly large greenback that I pinned in the back with a 3.0 circle hook on an egg sinker. In the summer nose pinning is great for trolling but for bottom fishing in the winter I like the tail hook to let them swim about freely.

watched numerous baby whales swim by and then whammo!! My head is a bit big from the last two nights so I tightened the drag and horsed this one in in less than ten minutes. no gaff...just collared it onto my lap. 36 lbs on the bathroom scale.

you can TIVO the superbowl.....but you can't TIVO fishing like this.

game on.
