SUMMARY & FURTHER DETAILS

Today I conducted an experiment to see if a light weight aluminum boat heading into some good rollers and white caps w a guy puking over each side could still be used by a 3rd guy to catch fish, and the answer is "sort of - for a little while". We managed a couple browns on the way out to find King temps and then just as the screen started to look like something was going to happen - IT DID! (unfortunately the thing that happened was that the dark angel of projectile vomiting graced my crew as the rigger and dipsy both went off). In the end out of 3 fish on over a 1/2 hr or so I got 2 kings(20#+-) to the back of the boat but only 1 made the net.With both of my crewmates huddled in the fetal position and blocking my access to the riggers and dipsy rods, I actually felt some empathy for them and pulled the plug on my shortest fishing trip of the season.
