Holland 7/3 pm Solo 2-2

Fished 7-9 pm in 95-145 FOW with no hits. Then things changed.
 
9:00 pm: 27 lb king, rigger down 78 ft, 90 FOW, Rasta goose std, was quite a fight and fun netting it solo.
 
9:20 ish: after getting the big one netted I realized it had tangled with my diver. Before I could get the tangle cleared a 9 lb king hit the diver. What fun. Wrapped the diver line around a pole holder and got the tangle fixed before the fish got off the diver line.
9 lb king, diver back 225 on 3 setting, meat rig. Called it a night.
 
2 hour boat ride and 30 minutes of chaos.

Not sure why these stupid emojis are messing with the titles.

Well done ! Beautiful big king.

Biggest King I have seen posted this far into the season.  Heat pounding to boat a fish that big solo.  And pulling off the tangle line catch was superb.  I would have called it a night as well.  Those spotted watermelon patterned spoons are money.   Congrats!

Oh what fun!  Great job on a dandy king!  It’s what keeps us going back for more, the excitement and chaos!  Thanks for the report.
