Launched at 5:30, let the girls swim on the north beach until they were worn out and then ran out to 90' to find warm water piled in. Ran out to 120' and set up junk for kings and riggers and wires on the bottom to work on the laker program.

Had a good rip on the wire. Wire diver + wife that is out of practice + trying to coach wife that doesn't want to be coached = lost fish. Soon after that the other wire fired. I proved my technique, gloating as I did, so my wife didn't get the net and I ended up slinging a 9# laker over the back and onto the floor.

Headed back north, about 9 we were pulling them to get the monkeys in bed when a rigger scraping the bottom out 160' fired and just sat there. Andrea took this one and winched and winched and winched. We cleared in half the spread in the mean time, wifey did great net work this time and we threw a just under 13# laker in the box. Biggest fish for my daughter ever and biggest laker on TZ, which to admit, is out of teh 15 odd lakers I've caught in 10 years of owning that boat. I don't ever catch lakers when targeting kings in the summer. Caught 11 last year, one in the 14' looking for browns in April, one sub legal in the 215, and then 9 more in November and December in the surf looking for steel, two of those were pushing 14#.

Not to be outdone by big sister, my 32# squeak reeled in her new bait on a full core to find a lively king on the end. He was released unharmed.

3/4 in June on a beautiful night with the family. I'll take it.
