    I think I would rather be on the tail end….

    The set up…the line out alarm on the bank starts sounding…and doesn’t stop. We motor to the bank to pick up the rod and then move towards the “float” keeping slack in the line the whole time.

    Then the float goes under…the three of us are all looking for the float…seconds seem like minutes…then it appears…right next to the boat!

    Note to self…don’t talk so loud when running camera….

    Well now that the cats out of the bag!

    We leave tomorrow night – headed to Missouri river in Kansas for 4 days to fish blue cats! From there we are driving to Texas to fish with Kirk Kirkland for alligator gar! 3 days fishing alligator gar – might even sneak a 4th day in.

    Didn’t want to jinx it! LOL Reports are that the blues are biting, conditions are ideal with many 50lbers being caught where we are headed.

    Gar reports are very positive with a 225lber being caught this week as well as many over 100lbs!

    James – you could have been there! Sorry you had a last minute project come up and can’t make it – I will be sure to tease you with many videos and pictures )

    Bk – seems your more excited then I am already! Trying not to think about it so I can sleep at night tonight.

    I will start a new thread with our first blue.

    Thanks for the invite. It wasn’t easy to have to sit this one out but in the end it was the right thing to do. Give ’em heck down there! I know I’m looking forward to the report and photos upon your return.

    Safe travels!
