Buddy managed a 10” I think I baited and hooked for him. I did what I could and wanted it for him. The two I kept today where the last run with not much sign or water, he wore out before reaching. I didn’t fish much before that last little run but a few fat ones where waiting under an obstruction to feed.
Gotta spend some time this winter working with magnifying gear to tie leader and casting at Glen. He’s mid-50s and isn’t adapting to well from chartered salt. I told him 4 kids is plenty. I can’t tie and bait (and cast) for everyone lol. He’s a good dude, we’ll figure it out. He’s 2 years or so active to my 4 so hope the curve shortens soon for him like it seems for me.
Z, he managed to break the tip top off my new rod
I really like that one too. I should have better exaggerated breaking snags off without pulling the rod. I suspect that’s what he did. It broke just above the last guide so only a few inches but it hurt.
