| Aloha Daryl -
Just wanted to touch base and say hello. Got my first WSB last
weekend. She went 60lbs and that is my first white ever! Shot her with my
Mahi gun using a RA reel. Damn thing almost drown me though. I shot it and
immediately got pulled underwater. Loosened my drag still being pulled
under. Took a quick look at my gun and realized that the reel line had got
wrapped around the turn knob and seized my reel. I quickly put the brakes on
and started kicking my heart out to get to the surface. The fish wasn't
having any of that and it was an epic battle kicking for the surface while
holding the gun and trying not to black out. Finally broke the surface and
was able to get a small breath before being pulled back down. This went on
for about 10 minutes and finally the fish tied up and gave me a bit of rest
so I can catch my breath. Finally got it out the kelp about 20 minutes
later. She went 59.7 on the scale after I bled it, so I think its safe to
say my first wsb was 60lbs!!!
Went back the next day and got another 30lber. Dove last Sunday and wasn't
able to find any ghosts, but I needed some target practice and found this
nice calico sitting about 20' away. So I had to make sure these guns are as
accurate as you say... Well I threaded him from 20' and he went 8.5lbs ;)
That's two personal bests in a week with my Mahi gun!
Thanks Daryl,
Mike
