Decided that Wednesday was going to be the best wind/weather this week. So i took the day off and made it an all day trip to Bob Hall. Got there around 6am. Wind was light and the waves were low. Had my mind set on fishing the North T for kings, but someone was already in that hole lol. South T was open so i set up 2 slides in the corner. Bait was hard to get at first with only bumper shads hitting the sabiki. Then finally a blue runner on the deck. Put him out and not 3 minutes went by and i was hearing the sweet sound of the Penn clicker screaming in agony!!! It was a wonderful sound, KING ON! at 7:30am. After a few minutes i land a very small king at only 37inches(perfect eating size). Set out another blue runner and it was on again, only to see that he was mangled by the king. A few other kings were hooked up in the North Corner, then the action just completly died for the slide lines. Spanish Macks were everywhere, ranging from the first gut to the end!. Caught on lures, baby shad and sabiki's.

After 7 more hours of nothing i was wondering if we were only going to have a morning bite for the king fish. Then a friend's slide started screaming and it was on like that till dark. With kings hitting everything in site, from Watermelon shad to blue runners...even perch! But i still did not have my limit! Everyone around me was getting kings and i did not even get a bite yet.

Finally i see a king go after my friends bait.....and of course i bitched a little lol......then the king turns on mine circles him 3 times and from out of nowhere just bottle rockets on it! King on Finally!!!!!! while this king decides he wants to run to Florida peeling off drag like he's a wahoo....my other slide takes off...only to bust the line shortly after the hit. We saw the king...it was a monster! LOL.

Well with my limit of kings i am starting to pack it up for the day when my friend catches a net full of watermelon shad...and low a behold inside was ONE Menhaden. And of course i had to throw him on my slide(just in case the monster was out there).

My rod holders were up and everything was put away except the slide that i left in existing holes on the rail. I was just about to pack it in when BOOM big hit on the water and my Penn 4wide is screaming in agony! This king peels off atleast 350 yards of line......and will not stop....I just know its the monster i was waiting for! So after a long but wonderful fight, i get the king to the pier to only find out that it is a mid 45" king on Steriods! He was pretty thick but not what i expected.

All in all it was a good day. I landed 3 kings and missed 3. So i was batting .500 for the day. Dont worry game warden, I have no need to keep 3 with just me and the wife at home!

Total kings on the pier was probably around 15 or so. with maybe 15 lost due to break offs(rookies).

Here's the king from the Morning. I did not take pictures of the rest.




Also i went offshore This past Saturday. This is my first Wahoo!


Tight Lines to All
