Great report Skip, and a BIG happy birthday to your dad! He sounds like someone I'd really like.
The water was indeed flat as glass in most areas of the bay today it seems. I crissed the bridge twice today, once in the morning and again early afternoon, and it was BEAUTIFUL out on the water both times.
Your beastly fish looks good and healthy, and no sea lice. It sure would be nice to see fish like that around here year round.
Thanks for the great report....I love hearing about, and seeing peoples' catches.
