Saturday July 27th Fluke report 10 POUNDER -Johnny Bucktails

[Johnny Bucktails]

Just goes to show that hard work pays off. The lip and I put our time in and we were rewarded with my first ever 10 pounder. Left the dock around 8:30 with the lip. First drop produced several shorts but i made a quick move to east and it was game on. Within a few hours we boxed 8 keepers and i got my first DOORMAT. One of the most exciting moments of my life and one that i will never forget. She was caught on one of the home made bucktails. Pink was her color of choice with a pink grub. Set the hook and felt the headshake of a beast. Yelled for net but still had 30 feet to go lol. AMAZING day on the water with the lip. Lip netted her and as soon as the net hit the deck the hook came out. Good net job Lip. Bad day to not be in a torny lol. On the boga she was just passed the 10 pound mark. Screamed like a little girl lol. We took her home to put on my wall in my room. Can someone please recommend me to a taxidermist that does skin mount, not fiberglass. We are having trouble !

tight lines- Johnny Bucktails





My uncle Jimmy met me at the dock to take a pic

Congrats Johnny! I fished next to you a couple of years ago on Capt John's, now you're in the big leagues.

Might I suggest, in addition to a mount, a nice gyotaku print? I think it's a classier memento of the occasion.

Not to hijack the thread and congrats again Jonny...but I wish there was a way to have one of these fish prints done without the fish. my recent release felt good, but a reminder of the catch would have been nice.

I expect the memory to only be temporary.

Awesome fish Johnny! Many of us are still in pursuit of one of these including me. Stick with it and take Capt Dave up on that offer for tuna fishing. More memories of a lifetime to be had. Good luck and catch em up....

Congrats young man. It only took a 10lbr to make you smile. You should be very proud, that's a fish of a lifetime.

Awesome beast! Congrats and keep those jigs bouncing
Pink in the Drink seems to be the ticket this season
