A first time for everything...

[THE DARKHORSE]

On all counts. From the ability to pick things up quickly, to the write up, and I'm sure many trophy fish to follow.

Jared was the dream client I always hope shows up on the sand. He made a tough job a hell of a lot easier, for sure.

Just proving once again that the guys with the least experience soak up everything up like a sponge. He arrived with a perfectly clean slate and zero bad habits to counter. Jared was on point the whole time. Focused and ready for whatever was thrown his way.

By days end, he would have embarrassed most old-timers by how he was pulling on those fish. He short pumped all three fish, through very heavy cover I might add, in record time. Just perfect technique. It was something to witness and a pleasure to watch---seriously!

In essence, Jared deserves the credit and did all the heavy lifting on this trip---the camera only weighs eight ounces.
