Cool thread idea Andy
Is it ok if I google WSB
and post a pic?
Just so I can show the approximate size of the ones
I farmed?:farmer:

Iceman 12-31-2009 08:13 AM

Don, I caught tons of bitchen sunrises from different points of view on the water and savored every soul searching moment I had on the big blue. No porn star this year!

Here is my biggest catch of 2009

57 lb WSB off La Jolla

Then I pretty much didn't catch anything afterwards in LA Jolla....the Curse?

Andy as you know I've only been fishing La Jolla for a year and only really fished it seriously for a few months last spring before the white Seabass showed up, up here.

I caught bigger fish offshore this year, even got my first local Marlin which I've been chasing for years, but even counting my skiff fish I still got to go back to this La Jolla fish from last March as my favorite:

It's such a beautiful and pic, (thanks Josh) My second La Jolla Yellowtail (caught my first that morning) I was fishing alone and found my own fish (Josh was fishing Halibut at the time, and there was no-one else out there)

For me it just does not get much better then that.

Here's both my first and second La Jolla tail from that dayhttp://img413.imageshack.us/img413/9341/double.jpg
I remember at the time you told me doubles like that are one in a million. I imagine one of these days I'll get bigger or more tails on my yak, but that fish and that day is going to stick with me for a long time.

I am pretty proud of this one, towed me around for about a day and a half. He hit a Humboldt squid on a carolina rig I had in about 80 feet of water.:reel:

it was a pretty good year, fished the bays allot, won my first tournament [OEX night tourny], caught my first WSB [juve in the bay!] and enjoyed setting up and getting used to a new yak. The picture is a Miramar LMB. Not a huge fish, but I am learning the LMB scene and I find Miramar tough to coax fish from.
Happy New Year and tight lines everyone

120 lb Yellowfin Tuna from my kayak at Hannibal bank Panama. Took over three hours to land.

I think I will have to pass on this one. If you combine the weights of all the "big" fish I caught this year the total does not come close to the monster WSB that Bigbarrels caught.

Maybe next year.
