Been out a few times since my last post. Took my chick to my spot in MB two Sundays ago and had a decent evening. 1st soak 20mins in I hook up on a donkey that proceeded to own my skinny a$$ and was unstoppable as it took over 175yds on the initial run. I got it turned or thought I did til she found the bouy 200yds out and sawed me off. That sucked but I wasn't left with a bad taste in my mouth long as the 8footer started singing again and after a nice 10-15min fight I beached a nice bat.
I felt redeemed but I knew the one I lost was bigger, definitely fought harder but that's wut keeps u coming back. I told my chick she was next up to bat, and not 10 mins later the 8footer was zingin and I handed it off to her and she handled it pretty good with a lil assistance we got another quality muddy bat to shore.
Not a bad night.
Got out this past Tuesday with the Misses again, not as steady of action. As I was trying to pump some ghosties to catch a yfc or something to chop up for bait I look over at my 8footer and the lines slack on the ground. I walk over and grab it and start to reel the slack in and it starts taking off. I swing and its on and pissed! She took out a good 80 yds on the 1st run and took flight twice as she ripped drag and swam left. I followed her 20yds down the shore and turned her back towards my other rod and managed to land her a few yds from my rod holder. My chick said I didn't even know u were hooked up I didn't hear anything or see u run to your rod. Gotta love those sneaky lazy bites when they end up being the only real bite of the day!
Very proper mud marlin B)
Finished off the brews with my chick and as I was reelin in my last cast I saw my rod tip on my 8footer bouncin so slightly. Ended up being a gluttonous sh!t shark that ate 4 squish on a 7/0
Got him back in the agua and called it a night. My chick gets in the truck and says wtf is on your shirt? Oh sh!t wtf!!! Ended up being a praying mantis trying to hitchhike to east county lmfao
Til next time guys Rastafargone B)<===*~~~
