[FISH11]

Every trip I take whether on a lake or La Jolla, I always take the same necessary items. In my soft sided cooler are 6 beers (usually Tecate original), a Ham and Pepper Jack cheese sandwich from home or a Subway sandwich, an apple, granola bar, and a bottle of water (to rinse off the screen on my FF). Any time I'm going to be out on the water from 6 to 11 hours, I have to eat something because of the physical work out either on my Hobie Revo or padding my Malibu X Factor. Some times you don't get to eat when you want to. In this picture I had trolled and drifted many hours, I was just about ready to call it a day. I thought I would stop and finally eat my sandwich and have another beer. I still had my flylined mac out and stopped in the area were we usually make bait just outside the boundary. I get my sandwich and the beer and before I can even take a bite or open the new beer the reel start to scream. I put the sandwich inside the top portion of my PFD and start to bring this beautiful Yellow on board. When I was done I finally got to enjoy the sandwich and beer before heading in. It made a wonderful lunch and got a great picture of the fish and of the Kayak heading in with the 34 lb Yellow sticking out of the Fish Kill Bag. That is one of my favorite pictures.
