spincast Posted September 1, 2014 Report Posted September 1, 2014 Finally found a couple kings - G managed to show me up by landing his - my first about 15 minutes later gave me a choice - spool or horse - so I ponied up, he bucked a few times and spat the hook. Heartbreak The next hit just as I was changing up; by the time I reached for the rod, gone; then another as I was readying to drain a coffee - hit so hard broke off the 40lb test - then proceeded to porpoise behind us twice as if to say, nyeah, nyeah, nyeah. G's was too tired to revive so smoker city she is, 37 inches and 23 lbs - exact match for his PB from 2012. Bite slowed down and the boat traffic picked up so we headed West to one of my spots and hit 6 lakers in 20 minutes. Then the sun came out and things slowed down. By then we'd had 6 hours on the water and called her a day These guys were crazy energetic today Gotta love holiday Mondays with overcast skies and west winds
misfish Posted September 1, 2014 Report Posted September 1, 2014 (edited) Gotta love holiday Mondays with overcast skies and west winds LOL We headed out to SES and clear . Ya,,the weather man need to really work on his weather vain predictions. Sunny all day. NOT. Rain by 10 am. Great job guys. Edited September 1, 2014 by Brian B
Rod Caster Posted September 1, 2014 Report Posted September 1, 2014 Looks like you got the pike slime washed out of the boat. 6 lakers in 20 minutes?
limeyangler Posted September 2, 2014 Report Posted September 2, 2014 WTG G! Love when the elements come together to call it a day…..lol….its a lot easier than having to make the decision yourself. Great pics, and great fishing.
moxie Posted September 3, 2014 Report Posted September 3, 2014 Better when the kids get the better of us. Keeps their interest in the game longer. Thanks for sharing.
Moosebunk Posted September 3, 2014 Report Posted September 3, 2014 Rick & G... on 'em good. WTG guys.
Freshtrax Posted September 3, 2014 Report Posted September 3, 2014 Nice fish, must be a workout for a younger lad to reel in such a big fish
spincast Posted September 3, 2014 Author Report Posted September 3, 2014 Looks like you got the pike slime washed out of the boat. 6 lakers in 20 minutes? yep - we actually would have had seven - but one of the double headers shook off as we traded Rods..... some day soon maybe that 4 hour drive will tempt you? G always seems to find the brutes !!! You got that right Lew - and a great touch with the rod - been a while since he'd seen a screamer like that one but handled her like a pro Nice fish, must be a workout for a younger lad to reel in such a big fish It takes everything he's got when its net time that's for sure. He came up with some choice ones a few years ago when he got one of these on. I'll never forget his comment after his first 15lb+ laker - this thing bull-dogged him for a long time. He lands it, pumps his fists, takes a deep breath then looks at me and says " Dad, I learned a valuable lesson with that fish ........ Don't put your rod between your legs when fighting a big one...... it hurts your balls".
asdve23rveavwa Posted September 3, 2014 Report Posted September 3, 2014 (edited) Good stuff, bud!! Nice to see G hasn't lost the touch!! Edited September 3, 2014 by FRANKIE65
