Launched at about 6:30 and joined the party. I was afraid I was too late, but as soon as I got there four guys around me hooked up. 15 minutes later I'm on with the frozen stuff, and it feels BIG! With some help from Matt Moyer (clearing tangled lines) I get the sucker to color only to see it's a (60-70 lb.?) BSB. Swam away on his own strong though. Thanks for all the help Matt!
An hour later I let the good ol b/w Salas 6x jr. sink and about half way down I get smacked, put the reel in gear, start cranking and I'm on. A couple minutes later and I've got my first yak-caught yeller on board. Finally!!!! He must've got a good look at that iron cuz I hooked em right over the eye.
Great friggin day! My biggest fish from the yak and my first yeller. Well worth the trip! Seibler and Adi great meeting you guys!
weighed in at 17 lbs.
Not the prettiest hookset, but I'll take em any way I can get em!
Gabe, Pat, the Mad scientist, another yakker, and a pb'er workin hard to save Gabes 100 lb. ? bsb. Really cool to see that!
