Sandy success

My buddy sent me this today. This was his second fish off the bank.
The wiggle-wart welded its mouth shut..

Hell yeah. Fat fish.

Hell of a nice looking fish! Gotta love gettin' into them Hawgs from the bank!

:clap::clap::clap::clap::clap:

wow! the fins on that thing look larger than usual...maybe it's just bigger than the ones I catch

Nice!!!!! Was he down low????

Yea he was fishing the mouth..He was targeting coho, with a 7ft 8-12 lammi and 12 pound line. So lets just say the battle was epic.Here is what he wrote on FB.

Nice! They usually don't put up much of a fight when their mouth gets stuck shut. No way to pass water over the gills means oxygen deprivation sets in quickly and lactic acid builds up fast.
