At least I'm used to it. 4/24
« on: April 24, 2015, 07:57:33 AM »
 Had a couple days off to take my girl to the horse show, so I decided it was an opportunity to fish late.

 Met up with Ray who was already at the scene and he reported a small leopard. Thats encouraging, so I set up and got to soaking bait.

 A little later, I see Ray battling something that was really taking him for a ride. Well, not really, looked more like a bait check.



Little more time goes by and I get a good bend in the rod, grab it just in time to feel a pop as the fish comes off. Crap.

Then Ray gets bit again. Says its heavy but not running too much. That can only be one thing.



This one was pretty amped up on the tail grab. 95", nice fish.

By now Ray has gotten a taste of the start work at 6 life and asks how much longer I was staying. Probably still make fun of us old guys though. I was ready to stick around a lot longer, but the dark clouds that blocked the view of the space station passing over started to rain on us. Not a hard rain, but no sense getting soaked, so I packed up and we split.

Keep this stuff up and my wife will be calling you "Stupid Ray."

Gawd... I need to get back out there and get the put the planets back into alignment....

Great Sevengill, Ray.  Better let Steve catch one soon or he might "accidentally" start having your sharks shake off during the tail grab.  LOL
You can't catch them from your computer chair.

Tail in one hand, pliers in the other.

Nah, no hard feelings here. Ray puts in the time and effort and is being rewarded for it.

Make sure theres a guest bedroom so I have someplace to crash for a weekend of fishing ;D

Hell I'd even settle for the floor at this point, shark master.
