harsh, man.
making us wait.
i was wondering about you.
:fire.:

" In today's instant gratification society, more and more pressure revolves around success and the measurement of one's prowess as a hunter by inches on a score chart or field photos produced on social media. Don't fall into the trap. Hunting is-and always will be- about the hunt, the adventure, the views, and time spent with close friends and family. " Ryan Hatfield

 Well, it's not much yet but here's the best shot of my 30 so far. My wife's images won't completely download on my PC. I've tried dumping old photos, etc.. I'll keep trying.

I was going to harass him that I would rather have seen the whole fish and half of him rather that vice versa, but I am always picking on him so I figured I'd let him be and fix his picture for him.

 I know, it's a chitty picture, I just wanted to at least show some proof of a slab. My wife is going to try to reduce to thumbnails. Meanwhile, I'm computer and camera shopping....

 Will have more pics today. Our group ended up with; 27, 24, 30 and 31 lb kings and a bunch around 20lbs. I must have lost 20 plus fish using anchovy for the first time, a lot of action but learned some lessons about rigging. My wife nearly lost her best 20ish king. We were trolling the "wall" and I hear a huge splash, looked in back of the boat 60 feet and a male sea lion was ripping apart a big king. Right then her rod goes off and the fish runs right at the sea lions. They give chase and chase it right up under the boat and at one time had a hold of the dorsal fin and ripped it off. We did get the fish I'm happy to say, or I'd likely be have dove in after the sea lion  ;)
 We watched another boat next to us land a 36 and a 39 pound king in 45 minutes or so. Can't wait till '08! Least I have hunting season to get me through...

 Thanks Ray! The top fish is 19lbs. On the 30 you can see the fish tore it's own ventral fin, when it reeled off 100yds of line. It was 40.5 inches from fork to lower jaw.

 You can tell I'm a little green in the gills in the top eh?? That was actually the calmer spot on the inside, we had just come in from the ocean and 6' swells. My cousin fed the fish that AM, LOL.  :chuckle:
