sea dog question

[Dirty Curti]

Yeah entertaining alright, you get your heart rate jumping as your real screams for about 10 seconds and then Then you see the bastard tossing it in the air behind you.

It is amazing how tough mack noses are. Whether it be a hali or sea dog, they grab it by the body and start pulling, and it feels like they are hooked. One would think it would pull the head off of the mack or rip the hook out of his nose easier.

I reeled in a my half dead mackeral near my kayak. I was letting it sit there until I made more bait. Set the rod in the rod holder and sea Dog came and ripped the rod hard. Almost lost my setup that day.

Thank you all for your replies. I know what not to do now. I am going to LJ this Monday for my 20th trip or so hoping to be the one where I tell you about my first YT hookup.

I had one hit a mackerel three feet from the boat at full drag once. Thought I was going swimming till the nose popped.

BigTunaL,

Put up a post after your Monday La Jolla session and let us know if you still think the dogs are entertaining. Oh . . . by the way . . . we are setting up an adoption program to assist our fellow fisherman and any tourists who want home entertainment. It's going to be patterned after the rescue and adoption program they have down at the animal shelter. You'll be the envy of your neighbors . . . at least until your aqua-dog starts to stink up your house, breaks into your refrigerator, eats your weekend catch before you can get it on the grill, and drinks all your beer!
