Wed. morning
Sent another fresh bait to the bottom and continued to throw iron for the larges mackerel you have ever seen, and more cudas. About an hour later the clicker starts singing!!! Hells yeah! Head shakes, deep runs, and lots of power for what wound up being a smaller yellow, it's been awhile so he and the lingcod became friends on the game clip!! Ran into Josh who quickly handed me some fresh lively squirts! Threw oned down on the carolina rig and got a HUGE ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ stuck it in gear and the long 45 minute sleigh ride began, had me hoping at the beginning and had me begging for the damn beast to come up, took me from 65 feet to 300 feet plus. Finally get the beast close and called in for some back up from Dan W. who very selflessly paddled along with me and helped me get the largest BSB I have ever caught back down to swim happily away! Great fight and one hell of a magnificent beast! Hard to believe they used to land those things, it was around 5' long and wide as a semi! Great day on the water! Hope everyone has some fun! Matt F. Tight lines to you all I am off to get hitched to the greatest gal I know!! and the cheese self pics.........

Matt,
Good seeing you on the water again today, and glad to have yet another reason for you to pull out the kodak. Re. your wedding: Sorry for the argument on the beach this AM, but I still think a gold-plated ringed circle hook is a poor substitue for the traditional wedding band (She must be some gal!). Have fun! Avery |

Well Matt, you told me of the fish you caught yesterday but neglected to tell me of your biggest catch of all, a wife. A hearty congratulations there too and I hope to see your smiling face as much after the nuptials as before.

CONGRATS MATT
The trophy of a lifetime only comes around once, so keep good tension and don't lose this one. Just like fishing, putting out that second line just jeopardizes the first quality hook-up .
