Nailer Posted August 2, 2008 Share Posted August 2, 2008 My cousin from out of town, my son, and I hit the water about 6 pm. Set up in 100'. Ended the night 5 for 10. Wire diver 200 back with the Mountain dew spinner/ fly accounted for 4. Copper with a Moonshine Brook Trout took the biggest @ 15 pounds. Monkey Puke down 80' off the rigger had 3 and Moonshine (the spoon) got 1. We fish pretty much straight out and, stayed in the 100-110 range. We had a very big one on the wire diver with the 12" coyote flasher and a Sigs Rig Mountain Dew fly, She took out 100+ feet of line. My cousin tightened the drag a bit, the fish did a big dive and broke the wire good by Flasher/fly/mag dipsey/fish. There was a storm 20 miles off shore that kind of fell apart. before it fell apart my sons hair was standing straight up, and the antenna was sizzling.

GLF Posted August 2, 2008 Share Posted August 2, 2008 My cousin tightened the drag a bit, the fish did a big dive and broke the wire good by Flasher/fly/mag dipsey/fish. I threaten my crews with a set of side cutters. If anyone thumbs a spool or tightens a drag, they are going to loose a finger or thumb. Nice job Ken and crew!

tort Posted August 2, 2008 Share Posted August 2, 2008 Nice job on the fish.....The kids hair standing up is a VERY Dangerous situation. Forgot all the details from physics class, but it is a precursor to a lightening strike!!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeMan Posted August 2, 2008 Share Posted August 2, 2008 Nice catch, Ken. I'm always nervous with that much electricity in the air. I guy got hit by lightning in Ludington during the recent Gander Mountain tournament. Fortunately he survived, but the boat was totally disabled and all the electronics and wiring was fryed. Good fishing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just Hook'n Posted August 2, 2008 Share Posted August 2, 2008 GLF is not joking. I made the mistake of touching the drag last week on his boat. Nearly lost a digit. Luckily I only needed one warning. Great job on the fishing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nailer Posted August 3, 2008 Author Share Posted August 3, 2008 I threaten my crews with a set of side cutters. If anyone thumbs a spool or tightens a drag, they are going to loose a finger or thumb. I think this may need to be implemented on Team Nailer. Thanks for the advice Mike. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Priority1 Posted August 3, 2008 Share Posted August 3, 2008 GJ on the fish Ken. That much electricity in the air is a bit much for me. If I see lightning 30 or 40 miles off heading in my direction, I'm out of there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
