Nice day out

Hit the water this morning at 7am, started trolling fines at 9ish, hooked up at 10am. 50-60lb BFT!!! Had them jumping all over my brother and I. Coolest thing I ever saw. Unfortunately did not have a gaff. Had the BFT at the side of the kayak for about 10min. Tried putting a strap around its tail. Thing took off out of my hand and snapped my Black Diamond Hybrid and kept the hook for good luck. Managed a 30lb YT on the way back in.

A big jig can serve as a gaff in a pinch.
