March 5th trips
On Friday, March 5th we had a mixed group of friends from both north Alabama as well as Kentucky. We headed back to the spot where we had been doing well on the yellowfins in the previous days, and began chunking. Long story short, we chunked; we trolled, we chunked some more, and the fish just weren’t cooperating. Even the bonitas did not come out to play in full force. Nevertheless, the boys stuck at it, hoping for a late afternoon bite. The word of the day would turn out to be “persistence,†as a little after 4pm, the boys hooked up to a real screamer. Disaster looked imminent though, as the fish was headed straight for a private sportfisher’s anchor line. Hats off to the crew of the Fully Involved for assisting in the untangling of the fish. Back to the fight, and the fish was still pulling drag well into the backing after a half hour of tug of war. This fish, as most big fish are, ended up being tag-teamed and the guys did a great job, as a solid 180 pound fish popped up to the surface after a prolonged 50 minute fight. These guys did a great job of hanging in there, and we look forward to having them again.
Great Trip! The fish were stubborn but that one fish made the day. I want to thank Hunter and Woody for working their tails off for us. The guys all had a great time.
Ditto! I would (and will) recommend these guys to anyone wanting a great trip. Looking forward to our next trip with you guys. That fish wasn’t the only one to get hooked that day!
we always welcome all comments..its nice for you to confirm that you had a great trip and appreciated the boy’s efforts..I will let them know.
