Reeltime has been on them feesh recently and last week was no different.
I invited him out to my 'ol reliable spot and we launched about sunrise. After a short paddle out, we get to fishing. I started throwing a top and he was using a jig. I get a good-looking trout slurp pretty quick with no hookup, and catch a rat red as well as we made our way out into the bay. After a few areial-strikes from smaller trout (cool to watch), a good one finally slurps it and I connect. A short fight later, a nice 20"er is in the yak.
By now I'm getting a bit cocky with several blow-ups and a nice one caught. We've found they are deeper, so we stick to it and continue drifting. At this point Chris calls out he has a fish on! He lands it and I come over for a pic. Not huge, but a keeper none-the-less.
Matching shirts were purely coincidence.
No matter, we are tied for numbers, but I got the biggun. Not for long... Chris catches another keeper-sized, and then not long after yells out he has a nice fish on! I paddle over, and he has caught fat 23" speck! Getting her ready for a pic, she flipped her tail at the right time and self-released . Not a big deal, a fish in the boat is a fish in the boat, and we were releasing them anyways.
We fish a little bit longer and then head out as I had obligations in the afternoon. The lesson here is don't take Reeltime to your spots cause he will out-fish you! Kidding... Nice short trip bud, we will have to do it again!
