You know the routine -dropped the girls off at school and headed to the local spot. The SW swell picked up and DoHo was a difficult task. Ended up getting one legal and breaking off a much better unit.
I really tried my best to release this guy. Landed him by hand but noticed my stinger was imbedded in his gill.
The fished started to bleed pretty good so I clipped him to see if it would stop. After awhile, he looked good enough to release so I pulled out the camera. Dead batteries.
Oh well, on my way home picked up some new batteries for the cheesey driveway shot.
