San Juan lings

Nice reports guys!  All these salty reports are killing me!!!  Will the ocean ever calm down on a day I have off?

-Spot-

i am "officially bummed" that i didnt make it out on saturday...sounds like the wind wasnt as bad as forecast 

the pics tell the story dont they?

Not to brag or anything...OK, yeah actually, to brag...I got a nice 32" ling yesterday out at clark island.  Not terribly easy to land when your net is hilariously undersized

Nevermind the fact that I look like I'm in "Tron"...thatsa spicy meata-ball!

Brag away!!! Nice Ling!!!

Yea nice fishy!! I can't wait until tomorrow...

just ditch the net for a gaff or just those Hobie lip grippers and it will be alot easier.

Just curious do you, or anyone that uses one, have a hard time opening those grippers up wide enough with one hand comfortably some times?  i do. It seems like you have to open the handles pretty far on bigger fish.

Maybe i just got short fingers.

Yeah, I ended up using the fish grip.  I prefer the net, but the grips work in a pinch.  I haven't had any problems with these:

as far as I know, you can no longer gaff lings in WA.

Hey TM, is your signature line from the SNL music video skit?

Oh yea, your in WA..You cannot gaff. I got the same type of grippers, mine just say Hobie on 'em

Must be nice, living in Oregon.  No sales tax...and more!

Very nice fish.

Must be nice, living in Oregon.  No sales tax...and more!

OR has an income tax.  In many ways sales tax is "voluntary", income tax mandatory.  Personally I prefer a state sales tax versus a state income tax.  I am not much of a consumer.

Getting off-topic, but...Seems like Vancouver, WA is the ideal place to live for people who hate taxes.  Work in WA, shop in OR! 

really appreciate you guys leaving one for me...although i cheated....
and used a PB
and a 10wt fly rod 

Crikey!  That's a monster!  Nice work. How long is it and where were you fishing (if you don't mind me asking).  Also, what's a PB?

we fished at andy's honey hole (waved to andy's pop while there)
PB= Power Boat AKA dinosaur powered kayak  
34 inches, 3" yellow buzz, fly rod bent over double, thought i had snagged the bottom for quite a while until all of a sudden it shook its head then i KNEW
thats my dad holding it...he is a believer now
