JL T

[Tman]

Nice hangin' out with ya Chris...I needed to get on the water and kill something, Fishcatcher with 2 fractured wrists means no fishing buddy...Friday was the day, launched late with a buddy with hopes of finding the cousin to one of my earlier escapades...I was trolling around when I came upon this guy waving his arm screaming like a girl..."I need help"...just kidding, turns out he didn't need any help, just wanted someone to chat with while he roped his thresher and be his photo beyotch .
Offered me his wire leader and a mac to get one as I had just gotten out on the water. Always nice to meet bros like that...told him I would just troll my rapala in :shock: mac pattern.
Trolled away from Chris, not 5 minutes late I am on, tail hooked style.
Got to see the T leap 3 times, but instead of pulling, he chose to dive...over and over.
Finally got him to color, and put the ol' bowline knot to the tail.
Long paddle in and didn't realize how far we were from the launch, arms sore and blood seeping thru the scuppers. Had Whitey come along, I would've fed him.
Tried to weigh him with a 60# scale, barely got his head up off the driveway.
Had fun Chris, can't wait to fish with ya again...
