SLOW to start,
SLAMMIN' during the moons that lead up to the Fall Run, and
DEAD at the end ~~since work prevented me from participating
in the FRun, AT ALL!!! is it me, or was this an extreeeeeeemly quick Run??
OVERALL,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,my best season yet, as i turned the corner
on the 30 to high 30lb fish and landed them with decent consistency.
and i had an AMAZING 8 weeks of fishing, from Aug's Full to Oct's New!!! also,
i crossed the threshold to handling and fishing effectively BIG MOMBO eels
