Taking no chances with the high risk of fishing equipment failure in La Paz, I embarked on a field test last weekend, in which I painstakingly sought out deep enough water to fully deploy the 113. And having properly weighted the line so as to sufficiently test it's drop speed, I proceeded to, with the help of a willing member of the San Juan animal testing school, retrieve the deployed line while alternately pumping the rod, turning the handle and adjusting the drag. As expected, I was pleased with the test results.
Oh yes. I also invited my helper to dinner that evening. We had a great time.
ReplyDeleteAndy always talked about playing with his ding a ling I didn't realize it was actually a fish!!
ReplyDeleteHow did you know that is a ling my clever friend? And yes I did play him, along with three just like him. And a few rockfish to boot.
ReplyDeleteI have a vast knowledge of useless information. I think I learned about ling cod watching the outdoor channel and I did a little research on them when we were talking about coming out to visit you. Has some wahoo for mothers day dinner last night. Got me pretty fired up!!!
ReplyDeleteAnyone can catch ling cod, it takes a reel man to catch shrimp with little to no bouey. More weight + less line + smaller float = success! What were we drinking/thinking?
