What a great day to end my weekend. Headed down to the kirkland water front and launched my pontoon. Was on the water by 7:30 am. To my surprise I run into Machewbacca. I like to think we're fishing buddies haha. Anyways around 8:30 after messing around with my gear I finally get a nice hard strike. Fish goes air Bourne and spits the hook right in front of "my fishing buddy". We shared a bit of info and went back to it. It took about an hour and a half before the bite turned back on which seemed to be 10am. We both had bites one after another. I hooked into another fish with a tag. I did call the WDFW again to report the tag number. I ended my day with 4 fish total. Biggest was 19 inches and the others all averaged 17 inches.

Gear used: UV blue shasta tackle sling blade, tequila sunrise wiggle hoochie (22 inch leader) night crawler.
Scent: Dick Nite anchovy, herring, shrimp, krill blend.

Here is a short video from this morning. The fourth fish was not recorded due to my GoPro dying. Enjoy!!

Good job again D j , I have not seen the video jet , That is only more proof as to Your ability. Yes they are going to be calling You soon for prices on guide service rates , just wait and see . You know what that means a bigger boat and so forth. Where do Ya go from there ? Oh boy I didn't say that ! . Another month or so and people are gonna come looking for Ya. You do know that Mike edits everything before it is posted right ! not sure what that might mean. ?
Anyway some nice looking cutts seems like it just a matter of going to the Ole pond and throwing a line in waiting for the fish to jump into the net . remembering that 10% 90% thing I do have to sniker when I think about it. Oh to much fun.

Fishing Fool- I enjoy fish a lot, it healthy and lean which fits perfect in my diet. I happen to be a health fitness coach so I understand the importance of fish being included into ones diet. I also give a lot of fish away to my family and friends! Thanks for the positive compliment! Tight lines.

GreenBoater- if I wasn't personal training at the health club full time, I would consider guiding. I just use fishing as an escape from the work life. And as a way to catch my dinner vs. paying so much money for farm raised fish.

Once again D j that's a good video , cool music too ,Must say You got a lot of stuff on that little pontoon seems like a tight space to move around in . Maybe it doesn't even matter reeling up that many fish tells the whole story . I remember what it was like having to give away fish like that too, everybody loved it and couldn't get enough , I used to hang them on the fence in front of the house while I cleaned the boat when I lived on 42nd ave out in Tukwila in the 80's . A lot of people would stop and ask where I caught them time after time.
