I like the safety on your rod. Do you un-clip once in your hands or fight the fish while its on? I am thinking you learned an expensive lesson from experience?

How is that platform for fishing?

Hah, it’s pretty nice. Certainly no issues trolling down on one of the mains. It’s the pilothouse model. Only “complaint” would be it’s a very tight door to the cabin, almost have to go in sideways. Could be problematic if you were a heavyset individual. Easy to maneuver with that joystick which is completely uncharted territory for a guy like me.

This one was solo too, 22 lbs. I have a Beckman net with the most ridiculous length shaft that I always mean to cut down but never seem to remember to actually do it. So solo netting is epic and this thing fought likely hardest of all fish I got into this year. 15 mins to get it to show me its side then wtf thing takes off again and hard, I thought I'd been sealed. Anyway cleaned up like a late season marbled and still nice color in the skin. Seems these fish are showing up late and have only just arrived. This was the only real hit I had all day.

Unreal comeback, Sirvivor!!

Its not over, see ya out there Friday...

I've seen that model at Coal Harbour Marina, and had the same observation about the door. It's really narrow. Otherwise, looks like it would be great to fish from. Tight lines!

A 22 and a happy ending....must be nice.

 

[walleyes]

Both those fish are bright chrome still. Just coming in from the big water, might be a sign of fish still to come in ??
