biglakejake Report post Posted July 22, 2020 i was thinking about this being a hunting forum and what most of the diehard must think of us gettin' all whacked out over a can of tuna. it like this................like a big bull bugle from 10 yds behind you and you recognize his voice as the herd bull you are after. watching two 100"+ coues go at it on a slope so steep they are causing a constant landslide just across the canyon shotgunning a called in 'yote so close that as it dies its tail is twitching agin yer foot and you can smell the blood. the first 30 seconds of a hookup is like that...thats the addiction for me at least. lee Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

trphyhntr Report post Posted July 22, 2020 next time you need flat falls you should try a Williamson Koika, it’s a slow pitch like a flat fall. i can get up to 250g for $9-11.50. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don't think the guys you speak of have had a pelagic fish on the other end of their line or they would understand what it took to get that tuna can!
