Big motor. These fish seemed to like anywhere from 6 - 8 mph :o

Or maybe we were just foul hooking them in the mouth ;D

I mainly took my kicker just in case I got way up on a bar on the way out, or if I lost power at a bad time, ran out of gas near the ramp etc.

Anything else I would just call sea tow. I thought about using the kicker for trolling, but I have greater control with the big motor as far as turning and staying on a school goes.

BTW - the last day when it was rough I didn't fill up at the end of the day since we wouldn't be going back out, but I bet I had less than 10 gallons left. I was showing one bar on the yamaha fuel guage. Matter of fact we ran right past the best batch of diving birds of the trip because it was getting late and so little fuel I didn't think it was worth the risk....Two Moons stopped and saw one fish boated but couldn't get a bite so I made the right decision. ;)
