1 for 2 today

[ratdog]

Launched at 5am made bait straight out in front of the condo. Trolled around GB's one high, 1 low. Big scumbag followed me everwhere until another kayaker paddled by and I passed him off to a guy in a red top, he was pissed.

At about 7am I see my first ever YT school crashing the surface 10 or so yards in front of me. I quickly retrieve my flylined and toss it into the foray, I thumbed the spool and in 15 seconds I was violently on. It made 2 good runs did a 360 around me then it was under the yak, I had the gaff ready ...... pop! It was gonzo. Guaranteed no fircraker YT the way he towed me with authority.

I retied a new hook, pinned on another GB (flylined) and went out to deeper water. Started to make bait when all of a sudden my flyline starts singing I pick it up set the hook after about 20 seconds and this guy is on again. Couple of runs, and to my surprise its a nice WSB.
49inches as measured by Hubbs Research Institute, 37.6lb weighed at the Dana Landing certified scale by Gene.

Nicely done John. I've had no time to check the boards lately - Scrib called me this evening to let me know you nailed another (last time you caught one, it was Jason calling me in Hawaii to inform me of what I was missing).

Good job man - time on the water pays.
