5/17 Brown Camo - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Seeing her come to color was a heart-stopper

for sure. But since
panicking

is not allowed on my boat, I gaffed her on the first swing,
and she sat there looking up at me going, "now what?"

I got lucky that she didn't go super crazy, she was kinda "chill'n"
actually to start with.

Since I didn't have my big fish bat with me, I gingerly pedaled over to the
closest PB who helped out with "calming her down" in exchange for a
picture of his little boy with the halibut.

Thanks Jack.

The bright orange "stream machine" is for kayak water fights and/or
washing the deck down on the water before the blood and slime dries ...

After wrestling with this big slimy thing for pictures, I looked like I'd been
barfed on by an ALIEN - from head to toe. Well worth it!

The blue boat bumper was orpaned in the middle of the kelp. (?) I went to
check it out, no ropes on it so I consdered it litter and kept it for the kids.

She only weighed 21 pounds, 43 inches, I'll have to get that scale checked!
.
.[Edit] OK, seemed a lot heavier, she was over thirty pounds, dang scale!

Here's me almost tipping over ---
(Tipping is not just a city in China!)

Here's how you pedal in ----
(Who needs a game clip when you got a trout stringer?!)
