4/14 Reds and Reds

Great fishing on the DD for some taco eaters. Great time on the water, good time with friends.
I was stressed to fish a straight forward rig as possible. I fished 80lb to 40lb with 16oz of lead, 3/0s, wished I fished 5/0s.
Caught my 4 reds, my girl caught 4, and then I stopped fishing after another drop. I really had to much. That’s all I needed for a party of 12 people and I still froze some fish.
Braid is your friend, you are not going to have fun with a 6/0 and a bunch of mono. Honestly I wish I had my two speeds, I went out with a TranX 500 trying to pull off some jigging work, still had a blast with it.
I also brought out my first “expensive low profile”… in her first use she broke it. She was so immeasurably powerful that she cracked my reel seat in her epic battle against the reds. To strong, I could never do that.
Much love to everyone.
