Maybe Ironman Mark was pulling a little too hard?

Way to stay after it. When you had a double Saturday and sawed yourself off, I figured it wasn't going to be your weekend.

There were a lot of guys talking about bright colors on Friday and Saturday. With the fish higher in the water column, maybe the high vis stuff is a better way to go.

p.s. I'll ring you up for 50 point

Thanks for the pics on Friday Mike, I made a point to put that color out in the spread instead of my usual all dark, and it was the one that got bit. Pink was very hot from what I heard. A few on MJG too.

That is a nice fish and the perfect size for the table.

Russ. Nice fish. I like to keep smaller threshers. Replace the standard hooks that are rigged on the BOM. I straightened a hook out on a big fish, after dumping a 50 wide. Use 10/0 Mustad 7691. Sharpen the hook and take most of the barb off. Use sharpie on the edge that is filed to protect againsts rust.
