On this chilly July morning we had aboard good buddies Gary Bland and Dave Massey both of Bellingham. We left the docks at 6:15am and arrived on the fishing grounds around 6:45am. We were again at "the Wall" and got two rods fishing at 95 and 105 feet in 115 feet of water. We were coming into high tide slack and were marking both bait and gamefish arches on the sounder. Within 20 minutes of trolling, wham!!! This 27 pound slab crushed the Dr. Death and began peeling line like crazy. After a great fight we got her in the net and got the gear right back down. As we worked our way through a few more passes along the wall with nothing doing, we began to troll around the corner into Thatcher pass and the "Slime rock". Just as we were off of the beach from Slime rock, boom, another solid take down. This time it was "Super" Dave Massey on the reel. We got some great video of the insuing battle, and within 10 minutes Dave was proudly posing with this 20 pound chromer! Funny how when something works, it just works. The Dr. Death hoochie at this point had produced 22, 27 and 20 pound kings in right around two hours of total fishing time over the course of a morning and the previous evening. The two kings pictured below were on the deck by 8:45am. We should have stuck with plan B at this point and run back in for 18 holes!! The rest of the day was a bust as the tide began a huge ebb. Fun times with the BGCC crew!!
