Upgraded the cherry popper
 

Same old same...
leave San Pedro at 2am (after little to no sleep)
Launch at 4:30am

Fog was crazy

I was looking to upgrade my cherry popping WSB from earlier this month

At somewhere near hour 14 on the water it all came together:D

Damn I love La Jolla, Damn I love kayak fishing.

2 new personal best:

16 hours on the water
&
46.10lbs - 52" of WSB love.

I'll be looking for another upgrade:D
or maybe one of them yellowtailed thingys
or maybe one of them big flat brown things:D

Very nice Don.
You deserve it for all the long hours you have spent out there, and with a long drive home as well.
:wsb:

Damn Don, need to make a memo to self - no more self portraits...glad my boy wasn't here to see that one, scary sheeeeeite...

Nice feeeeesh...way to put in the hours, well deserved...

I am still trying to figure out why the phooooook this bite is happening now that I found a yob, had a busy weekend, and have to live vicariously through the exploits of amigos?

Nice bro...just delete that one pic...:D

`

Don,

Dude, after 8 hrs on the yak, my stomach
muscles start to hurt big time. 14hrs? Then
drive home???

But I guess with a large WSB and a bottle of
diet coke, things are just honkey-dorey!!

Way to fish!! Persistence, it's the only thing
in life that works!

:sifone:

Awesome fish.. If I'm not mistaken you were out on Friday as well?

That's a sweet "upgrade"

There is no way I could do 16 hours on the water- that's impressive ( I think I did 12 one time, and I literally had trouble walking back to my truck after being wet, cold, tired and dehydrated!) Then again, its hard to call it a day sometimes, I know the feeling.

Wow! Nice:wsb:

Nice one! But here is no such thing as a born again virgin....:biggrinjester:

you suck!

:cheers1:Nice fish, congratulations!!!:cheers1:

I like to complain about my 35 minute commute. :biggrinjester:

nice fish! :wsb:

DIDO...:cheers1:

Very nice, you are too hardcore! Glad it paid off with the happy paddle and happy long drive home.

YOU ARE ONE SICK MAN!


















































































Congrats Don you work hard for those fish :wsb:

Congrats on such a nice :wsb:!

upgrade in effect! WTG Bellcon!!!
:wsb:!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:)

Oh man, Don!!! You are going to move down here soon!! You have "Pond Fever" bad!! Excellent catch, and congrats!!!:notworthy::notworthy::notworthy:

Now that's committment! Rocky Point is another kayakers dream :wsb:

Things we have to do in life, & you nail it. :cool:
