The rest of the story...
![]() I would Joe, but this is the small one ![]() when comparing these two fish. This fish is in my left hand with the larger one in my right. ![]() The only thing better than a new women is two, right? Besides the thumping surf, this was a pretty good day. I was meeting a regular client on the water and came prepared; with twenty pounds of ice and some patience in a can! I was patient in the surf zone due to the extra load on the Prangler and picked a short window for my escape. I met up with my partner for the day just outside the surf and we made our way to the grounds. I never bothered making bait as my main job for the day was simply locating schools for my client. Which is what I did for the next six hours. We stalked a nice school for a bit, placing ourselves in perfect position. Then we both made a cast at the same time. I guess those extra thirty yards or so payed off again---as I was the only one to hook up (sorry brother ![]() Late that afternoon, my client decided to head for the barn and I made the decision to stay on the water. I handed out some patience in a can to a couple of friends in the area and simply relaxed for a bit. Then, headed to a location that produced a couple ever-so-slight clues earlier in the week. Turned out to be a good idea. After a short stint, while holding the rod, I felt that lovely thump! I instantly knew it was the right kind and my adrenaline rose before I gave her a soft-set. Head shakes followed by short runs confirmed my original adrenaline rush. Then I watched her come from the depths in the clear blue---what a sight! Not the giant trophy I was searching for, but a solid fish to complete my WCW slam. I gaffed, game clipped and instantly put her to sleep before burying her on ice. I took a direct heading to my waypoint and sent another bait down. Five seconds on the bottom I felt that lovely thump, again! Instant head shakes started the adrenaline pumping and I quickly realized this was a nicer fish. I took my time and made sure to place my gaff in the stomach this time. I quickly game clipped her and hit another home run with the Halibut bat. Which was followed by a primordial scream before packing her on ice, too. ![]() I got what I came for and headed for the barn; stoked! Like I said, it was a pretty good day. ![]() That only got better!

Damn......Damn......Damn......congratulations, very well done, again.
Thanks for the Pacifico out there, I do not remember any of those girls anywhere near the launch when you landed. They came out of nowhere. Next time I am personally checking your fish bag, you slow-playing SOB. ![]() |
