chetco bubble sleigh ride!!!!

for the opener weekend of the chetco bubble, was  a bit rough but fishable untill someone turned on the fan, at which time crash, (doug) hooked up out past the whistler bouy, he had a great battle for 10 min when he landed a 24 pounder, then we headed for shore, intering the mouth of the jetty, ryan hooked a nice one, unfortuneatly i got skunked, that changed on sunday. ryan and i headed out bout 7;30, i trolled the harbor for a bit , had to go back to my truck cause i forgot my inhaler , on the way in i passed kieth, informed me that i was going the wrong way, on the way back out, i passed kieth again, he landed a hog, bout 45 minutes later, i hooked what at first i thought was a rock fish, didnt hit very hard, didnt fight much or seem to have any weight, then he put it into gear, and let me know i had a REAL fish on, after what seemed like a dozen circles, up an down the coast  a few times, i finanly got a glimps of it, man it was a beast, ryan did me a solid an let me use his net, my little one was a tad inadequate for this fish. my first chetco bubble was a total success, had a blast, thanks doug and ryan,
