2nd yt sub for wcw 2008-2009

Fish is an exact, and I do mean exact cookie cutter of my other fish!!! Frighteningly similar except for the fight, this dude took out almost the same amount of line but at the end of the fight decided to just hover beneath the kayak for the last 5 minutes absolutely wouldn't budge. Caught him on a flylined mack with 25lb flouro and a 1/0 gorilla hook!! Thanks for the on the water photo Michael and thanks to the fellas at OEX for getting me the certified weight of 31.9lbs the same exact weight as my other fish!!!!







Now I just gotta catch those damn other species!!!!

Nice fish Matt! Very cool of you to paddle out to let me know where the fish were. Thanks for that.

Very awesome yellow! Its pretty rewarding to catch one of those guys when there aren't many around! I had been way down south pulling on another kind, hence the late reply!!
