went out yesterday to see if the bull reds had made it that far into the sound...well i got my answer but missed him because i had my barbs crimped from last season when i could literally not keep them off the hook so i went home and put new trebs on and went out today around 5 trolling a rapala and a little stretch was only out for about a half hr and the rapala goes off screaming and after a 5 min fight he's yakside

...couldnt get the camera far enough away from him to get a good pic but heres some.

im guestimating 38-42inches(kayak is 33wide) but dunno forgot the tape. when i was trying to get the last treb out i remembered i frogot my pliers and why i crimped the barbs down...i had him out of the water longer than i would have like but it was still only 2-3 mins and it took a while to revive him but he sswam off strong.

now i know some people will saw i put too much stress on the fish but it was only a 5minute fight and i never lifted the fish vertical and had him laying across my lap the whole time so no internal damage...so now that there there im ready for the hobie tourney to start in november.
