Fishbones

Continuing with my mission of conquering a mega duct DD I find myself fishing a lot and when your fishing a lot at
certain spots things are bound to happen, some good, some bad, and some just simply amazing leaving you speechless.
as my usual routine I either start from west to east or east to west and try to cover as much water as I can but
sometimes get stuck at certain spots forever chasing my striper senses and reading the water and conditions which look
promising. Well today was a once in a lifetime, never going happen again, even the bako boys wont accomplish this
victory at hand. So anyways I leave work around 5pm and head up the line, traffic sucks around this time so im a
patient man just waiting my turn in the vehicle rat race and finally make it past the bozo's with the duct in my sight it
was time for a game plan, turn and burn until you find a dumb one willing to boogie. First spot I hit everything looked
amazing, almost too perfect conditions and the assault begins, Mr Wasabi KPN is working water, glowing as it wiggles
and rattles leaving me confidant he will produce, ok a few more casts and I decide to hit it later with almost perfect
conditions I didn't want to leave but nobody home yet, so I carry on my adventure and search of my mega duct DD
striper. A few hours go by a few spots unturned with nobody home and im just as focused as the first cast and cant get
that first spot out my head, everything was there to make it happen, wind, current, sun, shade, with just enough flavor
in the air to tell me its going to happen here. I rush back to my honey hole with great hopes of finally finding what ive
been looking for, and oh boy was I wrong, wrong as in the wrong kind but an unbelievable once in a lifetime catch for
the record books, one that will go down forever in the history of the duct, making me quite possibly the only man to
ever accomplish a catch like this, so ill start here, I walk up and everything was perfect just like earlier when I left and I
was quite surprised to not see anyone there fishing,, all to myself,, perfect.. I start my half mile walk up current and
work my way back down to the start, about to give up I follow my intuition and keep casting, and casting, knowing
something is here just trying to find the right retrieve presentation I finally get a bite,,PA POWWWW.. this thing takes off
screaming up the duct running like no other ive caught before, I say to myself wow this guy is strong for a summertime
skinny, and as I watch the line on my spool get lower and lower I realize I have to chase this thing down as I can see my
backing, by this time im completely at awed and start thinking this is the one,, take your time Fishbones he's all yours
and just as I start to gain some line hes off again like a bat out of hell,, man what the hell is this im thinking to myself,
Finally starting to tire and gain some line back now it just feels like a heavy potato sack with a few pulls here and there
to tell me its still there, by this time im ready.. ready to slide this beast in, but I havnt seen it yet,,, and finally,,,,, there
it is,,, OMG im amazed and shocked jaw just about on the ground low and behold its a beast....
