3rd trip after wipers, finally connected with a couple, I was shocked at the fight they can give I really thought I hooked mobydick for a while there. I only got 2 but i was surprised that they were only about 15"in long. They felt like a 20" or better fish.
Sorry for no pics, I know without pics its just another fish story. But honest I did finally get a couple and would have had pics to show ,but alas I put my camera in my backpack on the bottom of my 12ft PortaBote,and after two swampings from the power squad my camera didn't survive.
Yes I went early before the speed monkeys woke up, but didn't catch a darn thing until it was zoom time. I think I could have caught more but at that point I was forced to go into survival mode and get the heck off the water.
Was a little bittersweet victory, I was excited to catch a couple wipers, Yet disgusted in my fellow man, Yep I was stupid I should have noticed the other small fishing boats left during the calm before the storm.
Take care and good fishing!
