FIshed the NW corner yesterday, lines in at about 7AM after a tough ride out. Had a couple of crashes early then around 11:30 the drag is screaming. Me and my buddy did well, cleared the other lines and brought the first fish in ~ 50 lber.

3 hours later and after a couple more hits and follows, another fish on. This one was smaller ~40 lbs and was released after a couple of quick pictures. All in all it was an awesome day. I gotta get back out soon for a BIGGER one, but first I have to fix some rigs.

Both fish took my home made spreader bar.

Pics of me with the 50 and my buddy berfore releasing the 40.

I don't know why, but I can upload pictures. I'll keep trying.
JOHN ANY SUGGESTION???? I did it the same way before.

I did make them smaller and they are jpgs, but the system tells me they are invalid file types. Strange, cause I post plenty of pics before, shrink them and no problem.

I'll send them anyway
