Launched 0500hrs, trolled S/W with a 3 rod spread set by 60fow, one glow J-Plug and one blue glow Ace High on CU.  DR with glow Yellow Tail with a Pearl Glow ladder back cheater.  1^st hit was a double at 70fow on Ace High and the Yellow tail, lost both fish PLUS That Ace High plug that was pre-rigged on a 40# leader.  Lost the steely 20’ from the boat.  At 80fow boated a steelie and a laker, then lost another steelie in 85fow on the same Pearl glow spoon.  Then it was nothing but grease, even got one on a 3 color in 95fow.  Had a monster rip on a Purple Smurf but it didn’t make it to the boat. Back at the dock by 1000hrs.  Final tally 4 Laker in the net and 1 released back to the deep, 1 out of 2 steelie in the net.

Nice looking fish after overcoming those challenges. Hate losing that gear though $$$.

How many of those cubes do you use to keep the fish cold? What are you using for a mold?

Those ice cubes are made in those 4 qt. ice-cream tubs. I usually keep 6 of them in my bait freezer,  They come in handy when we lose power out here in the country.  I put 2 of them in a hot cooler the night before and they are still nice and cold through out the next day.
