Sunday Solo Shakedown but Eight made it Great

[Blackfish Bobby]

Finally had the boat complete and decided to make the first run Sunday afternoon after the crowd dispersed. So with my buds scared off due to some east wind and sporty bay :confused: I just had to go it alone.
Boat ran great and landed eight Striped Carp in less than two hours. ;)
3 shorts,,,, a few 30's (inches) and released a gorgeous 39 inch big tail cow in picture to hopefully do her job to sustain this fishery. Kept one lean , mean male for tacos that went just under 35 inches.
It is quite the challenge getting these fish to net fishing alone.:eek:
Weather actually started to turn for the better when I was heading for the barn. Saw the sun for a little while back at the dock. Found the fish moving in 20 feet of water very close to home which was awesome.
