I love this forum! Knowledgeable people sharing info and if nothing else giving the rest of us hope and maybe a little more confidence.
As far as my LIMITED big fish experience goes I agree with all that has been said. Amount of time spent fishing, big bait equals big fish and luck probably being the main factors for me personally.
Case and point I caught this one after dragging the largest glow hootchie (A fair bit bigger than even the turds or cuttlefish) I have in my box for hours and hours without a sniff. The whole time watching as my daughter and friend both boxed and released many fish that afternoon and evening. They kept saying you should put on the same as us and have some fun. I kept saying some-one has to go after the big one.
My turn came, and a little more than 20 minutes later and several smooth bits of manoeuvring the boat between my fish and a sea lion by my daughter it was over. Kitty Coleman had given up my largest fish to date. It first came in just over 40 on our old hand held scale. After keeping it on ice over night it was officially registered the next morning at Tyee Marine for the derby at 36.25 lbs
