Wow! the bomb is right! Is that one of them Paddle Boards?
Had good intents - curly tail jig, tipped with crawler, but the suckers ended up being easier to just snag. Pissed 'em off pretty good! Landed this 20lber on 8 lb test, and dorsal hooked is a tougher fight if you can't "guide" them by the mouth. Had tail hookups too- same story. Sheeze - those beast just don't tire!
This cow was as big as my leg, though we didn't put a tape to it. But probably 3ft. Would a foul-snag count for a C&R record on a non-game fish?
Buddy Bamaboy caught his first on a fly too. Not as big, but fun tugs all the same.
One of my fly goals for this year. Need to break out the san-juan, and get some puffballs...
