SUMMARY & FURTHER DETAILS

====================

Just a quick rundown of today's outting. Got on the water at 6am and started setting up over 100 fow just south of the honey hole. As I started setting the second rigger the first fired and I landed a 10 lb king. finished setting the second rigger and went to reset the first when the second rigger fired and I landed a small skip king. Trolled around in search mode for about 2 hours then had the 300' wire get slammed and this thing burned line all the way out to 920'!! After a good 25 minute fight I landed a nice 24 lb'er. Started marking a ton of fish and caught another skip king on the 62' rigger when I had to pull lines and come in. I wish I could have stayed out there awhile longer with the fish showing up on the screen! I'll post pics when I get a chance...

24 lb King:

I then accompanied Woody out of Hughes for an evening trip. That was a blast!! I'll let him post all the details, but let's just say we stacked them in the back of the boat!! At one point I was fighting a fish in one hand, trying to set the hook in a second fish with my other hand, and Woody was also fighting a fish!! Again, pics to come...

Hoping to get back out on 'em in the AM with Woody again...
