I was on my tube 2 years ago using live smelt and next thing I know about 20 minutes after High Tide Kabammm! [shocked]
My Okuma reel starts clicking away! So I grab it, start reeling and getting towed at the same time! So while I am wrestling with the fish I toss my anchor and keep fighting him. After like 5 minutes I get him up to the side of the tube and I cannot believe what I am seeing. [shocked]
So I reach for my net and the yellowtail does a head thrust and sticks the hook right into the side of my tube! [unsure]
So now I am sinking and still wrestling this fish! So I am releasing him and I start paddling for shore. I still have my light pole out with a green and white plastic and next thing I know..Kabamm! [shocked]
Halibut hits it. So now I am paddling for shore and reeling in this halibut. Just as I get shallow up enough to touch the ground the right side of the tube goes flat.
I stand up in the tube and reel in the halibut. And wouldn't you know it the friggin halibut did the same thing! Hooked the left side of the tube [unsure]
So two great fish later and a flat tube all and all still a good day [sly]
