I saw you at the launch, bright and
early in the morning. Only you were
already coming in. Then my eyes set
on YOUR monster fish in your yak.

I've been rev'd up ever since!

that fish is still UNBELIEVABLE to me....i've spend hours looking at that pic in dis-belief!! not to mention all the sleep i loose getting up early to go find my own.

MalibuJohnny · 03-01-2010, 08:44 AM

That's a big one!....

I bet you like hearing that allot!

Hunter (The 80's Man) · 03-01-2010, 01:55 PM

Think you should change your name from "whitedog" to LuckyDog...

Good job, congratulations!

danny · 03-01-2010, 05:16 PM

Definetely levels the playing field, especially with Halibut

.

That said, yes, if you know exactly where to put your fingers...with a tired out, belly up WSB...no problem! Then again, if you don't know "exactly" where to put those fingers, while maybe stoked out of your mind...it's going to be a blood bath! And I don't mean the fish, either

.

Anyone who knows, knows! For those of you that don't, the gill rakers on a WSB are like razor blades. Might as well throw your hands into a jet engine

The gill rakers are sharper than the teeth

Yup. After my first, my hand looked like this when I got off the water. I didn't think anything of it. Two days later it lloked like I had put my hand into a paper shredder.

Aquahunter · 03-03-2010, 07:09 AM

Awesome! I'm looking forward to land my first 50 lbs class WSB on rod/reel. I did speared a nice WSB but Whitey got to it first! Enjoy the picture!
