Yeah, there was an "OK" bite at Possession this morning.
Lines in the water at 5:15. First fish in the boat by 5:20 followed by complete chaos until 7:00 when we were done. Should have been done by 6:00, but damn seals and high-finners got in our way.
Official tally was 6 for 10, with 2 20-ish pound high-finners released and one fish (fin unknown) that we unwillingly used to create an EPIC battle with a harbor seal. The battle ended with two sets of 5/0 RVRFSTR hooks squarely embedded in the corner of the seals mouth, resulting in a complete loss of all gear, as that 60lb. UG leader was not gonna give out before the 20lb. main.
Best morning of king fishing I've ever seen out in the Sound in 30 years. Was truly unreal. At one point, both our knees/hands were shaking and all we could do was sit down and recover from the adrenaline high we were on.
Me with a pair of fishies:
Tom with his pair of fishies:
Tommy Jr. with his pair of fishies: Oh wait, he decided to sleep in and didn't come out with us. D'oh!!!!!
Can't thank you enough for the awesome day on the water, TJ!!!!!
PS. One of the highlights of the early morning was yelling out "RVRFSHR HOOKS SUCK ASS!!!!!" as BroodBuster, Ike, and Todd came approaching us from the distance. I bet they were wondering who those arseholes were until they realized it was us.
Oh yeah, all fish caught using RVRFSTR 5/0 hooks, 24ish" 60UG leaders with a green UV/Glow AceHigh and the UV jellybelly..er...jelly/fish HotSpot. 75' on the rigger.
Team Broodbuster apparently looked a little worse the wear. Something about a rental cabin, beer, 1:00 am, etc.
Hope they got in to some fish.
FishRanger had at least one last time I heard.....
