Persistence pays off............
After getting reports springer were showing up in the Columbia, It was time to get the Double Lu in the line of fire. My step son and I met Capt. Mike & his client out near our secret nooker killing grounds. despite out collective best efforts we couldn't manage to gt one interested in our gear.
Out of perhaps 12 boats we saw one caught and released.
Meluvtrout and I hit it the same place Sat and out of 20 boats again saw just one fish caught.
After skipping Sunday, the kid and I set after them again this morning. We spent the morning trolling along w/ maybe 7-8 others until the tide changed and current picked up.
The past two trips when on anchor, I'd run wrapped Chrome / Green K-15 to the inside and Chrome / Red K-14 to the out side. This morning i did the same gig except I used wrapped K-14 and added hemorrhoids to the chrome/ green number. We spent a hour before I began thinking I needed to change back to the K-15. I commenced to getting new gear set up and had the new quickfish 3/4 dressed when nick belts out... Fish On.
I look up and see my rod tip smashing the surface of the water as the drag surged w/ each head shake. After a quick hook set, I kept pressure on it and it drifted to the surface and rolled.
30 yds back all we could see was the surface boil;A jack maybe? It actually came in rather close to the boat before All hell broke loose. 20 feet off the stern I saw a huge silver flash and realized............ Pig On.
All in all it the fight lasted a solid 25 minutes
Need a bigger cooler
