My son and daughter in law are in town from
Japan with my new grandson. I told them before
they left we would have yellow tail sashimi.
Got up early but it was 37 degrees in my yard
, so I went back to bed.
Afternoon had a little wind on it, but was still nice.
Easy bait at the can. I decided to just head straight
out when I see birds diving way out side. I flew out
as fast as I could stopping just short of the boil. Thats when I noticed
my bail was open and 500 yards of line was out with
my surface iron on it.
As I was cranking the line in ,my fly line goes off.
I started to set the reel with the iron on it down
when the fly line goes still. I went ahead and pulled
the rest of the line in and got one shot at the boil
that came right at me. Hook up. I new it was'nt that
big, but I did have 40 lb line on and I was in 150 ft depth,
so I horsed it in. Before I got it in, the boils quit, the birds
left and for an hour I never saw anything, so I came in.
16 lbs on the b/w surface iron.
Thanks Don for making my fish look so big.
