Wizard's first for '09

Headed out Sunday for a day of fishing with Don and my father. Don sent a soft plastic bait back deep with the usual compliment in the spread and Wham! the reel starts to sing. 25 minutes later a 64" tuna is on deck and in the tuna bag on ice all bled out. Lots of busting fish and life. Water temp was 54. Sunday was a repeat of Saturday with fish and whales and good times. Its nice to get the first few out of the way and get all the kinks out.

Nice work kid.

The charm of fishing is that it is the pursuit of what is elusive but attainable, a perpetual series of occasions for hope. ~John Buchan
