Just want to shear a quick story about the shot, this was the first time Hamish had been out fishing targeting Kingfish, I had the guys start the day with dropping jigs and with only rats being taken looking around I noticed the fish up on the surface so with a quick change of gear I had a cast to give the guys a demo on how to cast and work a stick bait, two sweeps of the rod and BOOM my favored 100gm Nomad stick bait was in haled and the stella 10k was screaming, I turned to say to the four guys thats how you do it and they all looked like they had seen a ghost, the next two hours to this day has been the best top water fishing I have been a part of. This shot of Hamish was the first Kingfish he had caught and on a stick bait with a big surface strike, the smile says it all.

Solid cover shot bro!

Seems you may have missed your calling, is that two covers in a few months? 

Nice to have a skipper able to put you on the fish and then take a photo good enough for a magazine cover Thumbs Up
