ENTRY CERTIFICATION: I CERTIFY MY ENTRY AS TRUE
Had a very good day out on the water along with Kyshand. I had a feeling that something good was going to jump off today because the weather was so great and the feeling was just in the air to get into some great action. We arrived at opening and rented a boat (my boat is still in the shop), so I had to result to old school techniques minus the fishfinder. But you know what, I caught the bulk of my big blues with no use of a fish finder at all which is something else I might add. So I just went off of my instincts today.

We went to the Harvey arm cove and sat out. My first run came at 730am - turned out to be a 25 pound blue. Another run came at 9am - it came loose at hook set. Another run came at noon that came loose at hookset as well so I am then 1 for 3 runs already. All of these runs were big as I was totally in the blue zone today and had all heads out.

Next run came at 2pm and this one was stuck and did not come loose on the hook set. Brought him in after a little over 5 minutes and was a 71.5 pound blue. Its been a little while since I caught a big blue( 2 years) so I was totally happy about that. My last big blue was a 50 pounder from San V. I initially thought it to be in the 60's but it made its mark in the 70's. My first 70 pound class blue. Overall it was my best day at the Ty so far.

Thanks. B
