Took the wife for a quick boat ride 5/4 evening out of Holland.  She says go ahead and wet some lines. Fished 7:30  - 9 pm. Had a double going right around sunset. 1 for 2.  Landed 11.5 lb king 15ft down on pump handle with moonshine spoon in 23 ft of water. Lost the other fish(5 color, double pearl sd with bloody nose spoon). Beautiful night on the water.

Trying to sort out some issues with the boat.  Trolled out front for half an hour before it died, again.  Pulled lines got it fired back up and got back into Mac.  Swapped out a few things trolled in there for an hour and a half (motor purred like a kitten) with constant marks with the downriggers bumping fish but never a hook up.  Was a perfect night but just like every other year forces conspire against me to catch kings in the spring.  It's kinda funny to a point...
