Grand Haven 5/11 morning

[Lobi]

Got out just in time to see sun get sucked into the water last night and eeked out one.

Should have went home but had my brother with me and it was his first King off the lake.

We goofed around all night trying to sleep in the truck, terrorizing wal Matt employees, eating, etc.

Got out early.. FIRST! .. at the launch.

Took first off rigger 55 down, 90 fow, with 8 inch green n glow hootchie momma and glow green fly. Nice 3 year old. Bro was pumped.

Again.. Should have now left for home.

Next fish came in 140 fow on 300 (30 lb) copper with 11 inch paddle and uv fly. Weber screaming across my core and was gone.

Really should have gone home now.

Two hours later, full core with uv flasher / uv fly starts bouncing.

My brother grabs it and starts reeling like mad. Keeps reeling like mad. I say you got a fish or what? Then I see all eleven inches of it flopping on the surface.

Cutest brightest salmon I've ever seen. Shot out of sight like his trail was on fire upon release.

Now we really really should have gone home.

Nope, washed stuff until after noon with nothing else to put in the box.

congratulations to all you guys loading the boats.

We got our butts kicked.

Someone give me a way to send you the pics (2) and post them for me? I can't post yet.

You have to see that little dude and the size of my brothers smile with first good king.

Thanks
