Holy COW.....4/3/10

[Grilled]

Stupidjet and I hit the bay again this morning. Left the house around 8 and were in the water by 9:30. We trolled around for most of the morning without any hits or bites. The current was ripping through pretty good. It made it difficult to maneuver and steer the yak but we trolled away. Come noon time, jet lands a 17incher on a tandem. After that jet decides to give the pipe a try and I stay around the bridge circling, zig zaggin, and more circling. Finally, my reel goes off. I look back thinking I might be snagged on a pylon but it was a good distant away....FISH ON! As soon as I start reeling it in the I new it was cow. It started taking line and wanting to go deeper, almost flipped me a couple of times. Around 42"+ It was hard to get an accurate measurement but it was well over 40inches. We then trolled around for another 40min but got nothing else. Overall, it was a great day to be out on the water and even better to land some fish.
