Bucket list fish?
« on: August 12, 2015, 12:07:41 PM »
Saw the pictures of the giant tiger shark and one of those is on my bucket list. That and some giant Amazon catfish.

Realistically here a juvie white is the most likely bucket list that might get caught.

What are your bucket fish?

Too many to list. But some hopeful ones for me are big eye, opah, and a local wahoo.

Napoleon Wrasse

Opah

I don't see you as a fly flicker... maybe a popper guy, but not a dark side guy.  ;D
You can't catch them from your computer chair.

Pacific torpedo ray. Going to be fun to watch Tom land it.

I already know how to land it.  I'll drag it up with your shock leader, cut it at the top of your shock leader take pictures and let you drag it with your shock leader back into the water and cut the shock leader off near the hook as a wave grabs it and sucks it back out to the ocean... Or at least that's my plan if YOU get one.  I'm planning on getting it first, so I'm just wondering what you are going to do?   ;D

Tell you you are on your own, sit back, and watch.
