2UNREEL Posted August 4, 2009 Posted August 4, 2009 Trolled the 75-120ft range and did the best in the 75-85 water. The waves kept us from venturing too far and the fishing seemed a little slow. We took a glad hefty sack on the 12 color and a nutty bar wrapper on the rigger. After that things picked up We went 5 for 6. - 18lb on the 12 color with Green Silver Horde- 17lb on a Kevorkian SD and Pickled Sunshine Fly- 14lb on a Green Frog SD and Mirage Purple Fly- 5lb on a moonshine Happy Meal on a downrigger - 4lb on a craigs christmas on a downriggerpictures comming soon
2UNREEL Posted August 4, 2009 Author Posted August 4, 2009 18#.....12 color...arm pump?? WTG!! You called it, my hand was numb and cramped up as I was trying to retie the leader cause the king got crazy at the boat and wrapped around the braided diver and snapped the 50lb Power pro. Thank you gamma for outliving the power pro to land the fat bellied mama.
Adam Bomb Posted August 4, 2009 Posted August 4, 2009 Nice job on the fish...Im suprised that the Power Pro didnt zip right through that Gamma!!!!
2UNREEL Posted August 4, 2009 Author Posted August 4, 2009 Nice job on the fish...Im suprised that the Power Pro didnt zip right through that Gamma!!!!Its possible that the fish may have brought the diver line into the rigger cable. I was focused on trying to get the fish to the net and not have any of the crew fall overboad in the process. The leader was coiled up pretty good and had nicks up and down it.
j1musser Posted August 4, 2009 Posted August 4, 2009 Nice catch Andy. Them bigguns always get a little up set at the boat:lol: Was the hefty sack on the 12 color a little heavy too:grin: Way to go getting the 2Unreel out into some fish!
silver one Posted August 4, 2009 Posted August 4, 2009 Thanks for the report Andy. was going to go out yesterday but she was a beast out there.

Thats a tough situation either way you slice it. Lose a big King or $35+ worth of gear on the dipsey rod!
