Jim F Posted July 2, 2007 Share Posted July 2, 2007 Started fishing about 6:15 in 80 FOW just North of the pier heads. We didn't get our first fish until 8:40 on a East troll and it came on a Purpleish bait from Fishlander with a white glow back on full core (~14 Lb. King). 10:05 the 150' copper rod went off trailing a Craigs Bait and turned out to be about a 16 Lb King. The last fish of the day was a little unbelievable: The down rigger went off in 150 FOW set 60 FD and the drag was screaming; somehow the man tending the rod was gripping the poll such that the line was cutting into his hand---he let out a scream and dropped the rod. The rod bounced off the back of the boat and flew about 15 feet through the air before hitting the water with a splash. Luckily the line had not done any serious damage to the unfortunate rod handler. About 5 minutes later the half core rod took off set up on an inline planner board. As the line was coming in we noticed the end of the lost fishing pole! We retrieved the pole which still had the fish hooked up to the free sliding blue dolphin 4-DW. We were able to land the fish and retrieve the pole to finish the morning on a very grateful turn of fate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
