Good eats for sure! Some of the REDS are being transformed into a spicy Thai dish wife's gf is cooking.

Yes I usually clean all my fish on the back of my truck. I live in a condo right across the street from the Shores, so it's the easiest thing for me to do. Big thanks to ReelAnxious for setting up a cleaning station for me at his house!

Yes I was in the bay Friday. I was doing one last pre fish for the Tourny. Caught 7 legals that day, one about 2lb and another about 2 1/2lb. Unfortunately I was only able to snatch one legal up Sat. I caught a ton of short Sandbass and calico though with about a 40lb sting ray, which I just knew was going to be a big halibut. I was able to get it on the GoPro

I'm pretty sure your mystery fish is a rubberlipped perch. I hope I don't sound like an ahole, but you neeed to get that line/knot issue fixed like right now. 3 irons on the bottom when YT are right next to you, not right. Mike

Hey Jeff, Great day out there!!!

Just a hint on the losing of jigs on the fly.... Braid is very brittle.... it doesn't take much to snap when a heavy jig puts force on it at 60mph and the line slows, backlashes or snags on the fly....

Hint, when throwing iron with spectra, tighten up that spool control just a tad. Braid backlashes and releases very abruptly... causing the braid to snap because there is no stretch.

Either that or run a topshot which will solve a lot of problems. I NEVER throw iron with straight braid... Well, I have.... but soon stopped once I lost an iron... and then another... yep... and another! I was WTF???

Deckhand explained to me what I just explained to you. Haven't lost one on the fly since.

Thanks for the tip. The first iron was attached to a 20' floro leader and third lost was to me reeling it in fast

Destroy, I'm hoping to be able and get another one one day, I am sure a lot of the other guys feel the same on here!

Big T 04-13-2012 07:23 AM

Ha! So much for THAT theory!! :)

Wow... snapped a jig just from reeling it in!!! Daiwa finally made a 34:1 ratio high speed reel!!! :reel: So fast, it burns trough a knot!

Kidding. What a bummer though, still a great day on the water!!! Just an expensive one! :(
