Good luck with the tourney. I hope you get the winning fish.
fishES.....combined weight of 6 salmon. Takes the luck out of landing just one big fish and rewards consistency. Anyone can catch one "big one" takes skill to put together 6 nice fish (at least thats what the crew tells each other!!!!!!...
)
Story...2 years ago we placed 2nd in the Fairhaven Tourney, lost 1st by 1.1 oz. Combined weight of 4 fish. Morning after the tourney and after fighting a 2nd place celebration hangover, decided to get 2 more hours fishing before driving back to NJ.
First line of a 10 rod spread goes in the drink and gets nailed in seconds........we land a 33lb King that bested the tourneys BIGGEST fish by 2 lbs from the day before!!!!!
Stood on deck staring at it, screaming WTF WERE YOU YESTERDAY!!!!!! Released alive, had a few 6am beers and headed home w/o putting any more rods in...
