Finally popped my lobster Cherry - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

After deciding to get into Hooping quite late in the season, I've finally got that skunk off me.

4 Nets and almost 4 hours of pulling
1 Legal

I knew it as soon as I pulled up that net that this one was a keeper. It's not one of Sherm's Magic MONSTER bugs, but it's decent for my first. I'll weigh it in the morning since this is WAY past my bedtime

Total net count for the night:

1 Legal
14 Shorties
1 Ray
Numerous crabs
1 empty Coors light can

Oh yeah, and the Seals were EVERYWHERE, and not a single Salmon head got touched, all Macs.

Sweet!!!

I always use salmon heads and for whatever they never get chewed on by the seals. I didn't loose any bait to seals the entire 2010/2011 season. I'll be out this weekend, gonna get out before the season ends.

Hey congrats on that first keeper...next time when you get more than one keeper maybe you can have us over for a lobster buffet...I will bring the butter

Very cool. Have yet to pop the cherry myself - hoop net is still hanging in the garage and has yet to get wet. And thanks for picking up some trash.
