My personal best, first WSB I've caught since I moved out here. Sucker got down into the kelp and found a hole or something. Took me 15-20 minutes to get him up to the surface. For a while he was down there it was a complete stand still. Had the reel at full 27# of drag and he still was taking line. Finally I thumbed that spool, buried the butt in my belly and waited for a swell, I was pretty much all in at that point. I felt it break free and I thought I lost the fish. I was so mad. Then, a few vigorous head shakes and it was back on. Had a lot of fun and my blood was definitely pumping.

Now I know why you guys are addicted to this nonsense! I've been on the water 4 days in a row since

46" and 36.7 lbs.
