Nice fish Jeff. Why is the lure (tube fly?) still in his mouth?

hi chas! thanks... where have you been? long time, no hear...

long story...but, removing the hook from a big dolphin flapping about on
the deck is a challenge for me. this one swallowed the ballyhoo and hook
deep, i tried to use a hook remover, but just pushed it deeper. had to
cut it out after fileting. that's the head of an islander lure dangling
down from the flouro leader and hook (in dolphin's tummy). it's a deep
sea trolling lure...use a big rod and shimano tiagra reel with it -
because we were hoping to trick a billfish.

how was the steelhead fishing this year? been back to yellowstone?
