I Had No Business Landing This Fish

Harbor test cruise after glue repair on my i11s...halfheartedly targeting fluke to no effect when this happened.

Same fish/tackle in open water wouldn't even make a video, but this one had me sweating bullets lol

That was awesome Roger. Just your breathing and muttering is the only soundtrack needed. Felt like I was there !

lol lots of heavy breathing and muttering...in my defense I wear a sun mask, so not a full time mouth breather!

Thanks George! Water was only 69F and she kicked off strong...hopefully it was a successful release.

Thanks Rick, I must say that Seaguar STS leader impressed me...thing was shaved to hell but held. I had a 6lb tog split 15lb STS into 3 splices but held, very good stuff. Likewise the Decoy jig head was perfectly fine, hook didn't bend at all lol.
