Congrats!

Wow! Thanks for the reference point!

If I don't know the weight I omit it because my eye scale tends to be on the heavy side.

I actually went by JP's Bait and Tackle shop after I got off the water. I needed to buy a new fillet knife and this catch gave me reason enough. They ended up hooking me up with a fillet knife for free so I swung back by later and gave the guys at the shop a few fillets. Good helpful crew over there by the way.

Ha! It's got your name as a registered trademark on the top of it right?

The bait tank is still running strong. I need to replace the battery though, due to, well.... lets call it operator error the other evening. I need to invest some down time into tuning everything up for summer. Tighten a few screws here and there and shorten the rudder pulley a bit. Other than that the "mighty drifter" has held up great for me. Still catching fish! Thanks as always. see ya out there!

Nice fish.

And I agree...many of us (if not most of us) got involved by either reading reports online, reading reports in WON, or knowing someone who caught a lot of great fish off their kayak. So withholding information, kind of takes that away from future kayakers.

I too like seeing people on the water. What i dont like is 100 PBRS crossing right in front of me going 50 miles an hour!
