#30 - Good start then sluggish

Should've been on the water at first light. got started about 7:30 or so and had four good bites pretty quickly, after I rendezvoused with rippalip the pattern I'd been exploiting petered out and we were left to other devices. Just before he arrived I got #30, a rotundly fat 6 lber. Weigh this fish on a new digital handheld and she was a fat girl with a nice head, but it really makes me wish I'd had the handheld in lieu of the jacklege analogue scale when I caught the 8 sunday before last. I managed 11 fish before being scared off the water by bad weather.

In the photograph the fish is posed w/ too much back and not enough belly kind of minimizing her size, I had second guesses about holding her that way but it was at the request of jackleg olan mills if I understood his directions anyway.:biggrin3:
