Fun day! Is the PA 17t a beast to propel when going solo?

one day I'm gonna get a big one.

Why are the juvi-Cbass so fragile? When I used to tube at NPH I caught one, handled with with a soft net, kept it in the water until I went for the photo shot, and boom the fish still went belly up when I released it. The fish survived though after a couple minutes of reviving it.

I try and release mine while in the water still, but
they can get a bit squirrely at times.
Learned from others that its not a good idea to pick them up,
removing their slime coat I guess.

Maybe they build up acids while on the hook, during the fight, that shock their system...

Saba Slayer would be the guy to ask.

10 am till sunset, sounds like my kind of hours. Thanks for a DP report, been stuck off the water for 6 weeks now.
