Had a chance to fish with Seppo & Lindus on Typhoon Sat AM.
Once again, I was impressed w the Typhoon in ROUGH 4-6' seas, and very few CC's out fishin. Worthy
Small craft advisory, and blowing NW at 15-20 when we got out there in 3-5 ++ seas.
Let me tell you it was COLD (mist coming off the LARGE swells)even after sun came up, and then the wind picked up to 20-25+ Eek3
Had a few nice birds stop by for a rest on the bow & break from the freeze. Toast (I love birds)
Seppo was up first and picked off a single on the kite. Lindis was up next and got one on flat.
I had my shots on flat and released one, and jumped one off. Then Lindus was tight again. This fish was exceptional.
We looked upsea and could see the sail lit up about 3' below the surface. Fish turned on the afterburners and went from 0-30+ MPH in a second and started greyhounding.
Fought fish to boat then it dove & got tail wrapped Bang Next thing we know there is an ENORMOUS shark munching the head & bill completely OFF said sail. Nono
Ended up 4 for 5 and even hooked a 4' houndfish that acted like a "poor man's marlin". Big laugh
