Big King @ Sharkhole 9-30-09
My son cancelled on me at last minute so I headed out by myself. Caught pogy's in 30 ft of water just east of Lockwood inlet. After dicking around with electrical problems with my chartplotter headed out to the vacinity of the Sharkhole. Fishing 3 lines, two up, one down. Can't remember the exact order of events but a triple header went off and I missed them all. Reset then the top starboard line SCREAMS. I'm fighting the fish, steering and wondering how I'm going to gaff him. After about 30 minutes I stick him and in the boat he goes. After a while on ice, I get out the Shimano fish scale and he weighs 36 pounds. I don't know how accurate it is but I'm sure its close. Ended the day with 3 kings and 3 big AJ's, 2 of which came off a double header. What a day!
