We have been looking forward to this trip all week, as the kings had finally showed up early last week chasing macks under the watchful eye of some over head friggits. I met up with Permit 53 at 7am. Got some Blue Runners and some other bait on a nearshore reef then headed out for deeper water. 10 minutes after we get set up Permit 53 is hooked up. A nice King that drug him around for the better part of 15 minutes. All the while I was waiting my turn, while doing the best I could to keep lines and other obstacles out of the way. It was a great day. My contribution was bait, Permit 53 provided the entertainment, and the king (pictured below) provided the meal....
