King-fishing this weekend

[Nauti Natured]

OK ... I know its not the most glamorous fishing and its not a reel blistering wahoo or a dancing sail but I have got to tell you.... when the kings are biting like they were on Friday it is a hell of a lot of fun. Especially since its been a while since I have had anything on the other end of the line.

There is also something about getting out there alone. Just you, the boat, the ocean, and the fish. Good stuff.

The pic is the only fish I kept and was a damn good king. For some perspective ... thats my big kill box on the Contender. I didnt have a scale but if I had to guess, he was in the 40's. I had one next to the boat that was the biggest king I had ever seen in my life. I put a little too much heat on him because he was heading for the motors and he broke off.

Anyway ... just wanted to FINALLY bring a report with a pic to this world.

Nice Mac! Sounds like a fine trip for your head. Just you and Mother Nature. Glad they were biting for you and we got to hear the report and see the pic.

Fine kingfish Mr Nauti. Fall kingfishing is a load of fun!
Did you fish AR285 on Friday? There were two dark hull contenders there both times the Slip Slidin went by.
