Catch of the day [Fishing]

[Sage954]

@Giles seems like the best things are made in Japan. We used these hooks. Sharper than any suture needles I have seen.

[Giles]

Practically all my top end lure fishing tackle is Japanese…..

Brilliant…..

[neph93]

Oh damn. That is very cool.

[Sage954]

Way cool. Let us know how it tastes. Must be a close cousin to a swordfish?

Bindings flies night with good friends of course![emoji3577][emoji3577]

That looks like a wooly bugger streamer.

[Giles]

I've been after a Yellow Fin Tuna for a long time.  Not large, but shit it, it went like a rocket…..

[Matty123]

That’s awesome @Giles great catch! I hope u have some soy sauce on that boat! He wouldn’t mke it back to shore if I were there congrats bro.

[neph93]

Well done @Giles. Lovely looking fish. What did you catch it on?

[Chris]

Probably with that big rod in his lap.

(Heh heh, heh heh)

[Giles]

Yep, that rod (xmas present from Paula), that reel that lure…..

[neph93]

I was thinking more about the weight of the line. Do you bait hooks or is the appearance and movement of the lure enough to get the fish going?

[Giles]

No bait, the appearance of the lure and the way it is retrieved is what does the business.  On that set up, I have 60lb braid mainline with a 130lb nylon leader.

Oh, man. That would've turned into a little sashimi snack preeeeetty frickin' quick if I'd have been there!

Om nom nom.

[Giles]

We had Tuna Sashimi that evening and Dorado Sashimi the following evening

As fresh as it can be… so jealous

[nurunuru]

Yeah, that sounds just fine 

Not much in the way of fine sashimi here in the middle of the North American continent, but I did go on a salmon fishing charter out in Lake Michigan a few years back.  When we got back to shore and the skipper was slicing and dicing, I asked him to cut a chunk off for me to chow down on.  Now that was some fine eatin'!
