Dondo Ling & a Sea Monster
 

Managed to get out of the house June 2nd... after doing a bunch of house chores.

Going to the Hand Launch at 3:30 winds predicted to die down around 6pm...

Got on the water ... had to peddle/troll at a speed of 1.5 mph... Wind shop was terrible on the way out....


Got to the Fishing Spot... macs where plentiful... I just picked them off the school of dolphins that were out there....



I trolled around for about 30 mins.... using at 15 inch mac...

Got slammed by a sea Monster.... Felt the bite then the head shakes...then the downward pulls... then .....

Nice ling-a-ding! :cheers1: Hate that wind chop too :mad:

That game fish keeper must be huge or that serving plate is small?

Looks like a lot of meat from that long. Great job!

What's that perch looking fish in the fist pic.....
