My first WSB of the year
 

After months of weekly fishing in LJ it finally pays off. I was pretty much in shock when I got this baby on the boat. I think my friend said my lip was shaking. It had been way to long without a good fight or bite.

I had been trying to catch a rock fish all day. I had finally given up, and was trying for something bigger. I ended up hooking up within 5 minutes. Luck and maybe some skill.. I was under some pressure since my friend caught a nice thresher that morning. both were released.


just kidding, kept the wsb.

46 lbs.. oh and sorry a bit late. caught 3/23/2011 10 am.

Well done! Nice fish....Time on the water pays off sooner or later.:luxhello:

Sure beats catching a rock fish :cheers1:. Nice WSB!

One heck of a rock fish!

Mine always look like a sculpin!

Congratulations!:):):)

Nice fish Sharon! I heard the rumor last week and figured it must have been you.

NICE :wsb: :you_rock::cheers1:
what a Fatso!!!

:cheers1:
congrats
great fish!

Awesome. Pass the :wsb:(luck) this way.

That thing is a pig!!! You are such a badass sharon! I especially love the dangling mack. Bet your friend who caught the thresher was just as excited for you! ;-)

Pete no love this morning? Good to see you out there... I guess T-sharks are better than nothing. Epic conditions.

Awesome Pictures. Love the Mac hanging out! :wsb:

Congratulations, Sharon. No need to apologize for the late post. I remember that day very well. I was sitting in a meeting thinking about the beautiful weather, and wishing I would be on my kayak. Your post gives me the motivation I need to stop wishing and just go fishing.

i think I was more stoked for you guys on the beach than you were, was wondering when this picture was going to surface. That thing was a beast..

Hey Chris, good to see you. No love today. Unlike Sharon, all I got to pull on was a thresher. I figure its just gets me in shape for my 1st WSB this season.

That fish would look alot better in my hands!



Congratz. so jealous

Those pics are great! That fish really helps. Yeah, the mac in the background is great. Hard to believe you are sitting in the ocean.

Nice fish !
 

Who needs fishfinder , GPS , mirage drive etc...

I have all of those, and can't catch WSB this big !

Congratulation ! :luxhello:

a better day
 

Looks like you had a better day than the one a couple weeks ago when I met you and Steve. I guess I'll have to visit you sometime soon. Nice fish.

Nice :wsb:! Thanks for sharing

Nice ... congrats!
