Last day in New Zealand…and it's a fishing day…with a guide I adore. I'm very lucky! Of course, on my last day on a once in a lifetime fishing excursion I start to "get my cast back." What the heck!? It was nice to finally get some good opportunities at some very big fish. Holy smokes - I didn't play the fish, they totally played me - hence the very low hooked vs. to the net ratio! It was an absolute blast of a fishing day. It was also an absolute pleasure and honor to fish with some of the best Kiwi guides and I am forever grateful!
