nice job on the quick double. i hope the sportie didn't get squat. i hate when they do that.

in my experience, the color of the meet has mostly to do w/ how you handle the fish after it's caught. to get that real nice, light colored hamachi you should bleed out fish right away. i cut artery from gills to heart and try to keep fish's tale above it's head. i also gut fish as soon as convenient. parasites can travel from gut to the meat after the fish dies, so if you are going to eat it raw, gutting is not a bad idea. gutting also helps to get fish colder quicker. i shove ice inside after gutted and mix w/ saltwater for slush. fish is firm enough to filet within a few hours.

Nice fish Chuck. But I call BS on christening a kayak with a Champagne bottle without pics (of the bodily damage done by the bottle flying backwards).

Had a similar experience. Hooked up on a Yellow last Friday and the New Seaforth was on my A in no time.

Nice pair Chuck. How is the seat on the new ride? Specifically, how is the stability now that you are bit higher up on the kayak? I'm looking at upgrading.

Same here. I had irons that missed me by about 30 feet when I was bent.
