Summary:
I think this might technically be my first shibi of the year! Finally, and it's about time! The weather and some travelling has largely kept me out of the water this year. The family and I will be headed to New York soon too so that'll be more time out of the water, but hopefully the next outing can be as productive as this to have some entertainment for all you loyal subs ;). The weather wasn't great, but it felt awesome to get a serious bend on the pole again. The total fight was about 40 mins (mostly because of the foul hook and heavy swells/currents), but of course I chopped it down for viewing pleasure.
