Well done boys that is great glad you had fun and landed some fish. Thanks for sharing your report.

Great job fellas. That's a good score.
Congrats on the trifecta.

Great day on the water boys.
Octopus catch and release, how did you get the hook out?

It released it's self once I had it on my plastic lap tray. BIG mistake.
It's suckers were in control and it was traveling towards me, so I grabbed it; by one of it's eight legs, with my pliers ... breaking it's suction from my board and tossed it towards the front of my lap tray,
where it decided to slither off the front of the tray and back into it's home suds.

That's two octopus in two weeks and I really don't know how the hooks are coming loose
unless they are smart enough to pull out the hooks themselves.

I'll tell ya one thing ... it was a brand new; I just tied it on, HUB and it ripped it to shreds and completely off the Owner weighted hook.

19- Spotties

All fish on Hookup Baits, sardine, red crab, chovy, and gold/orange.
