Yo Greg! I got your 10.5 inch Right Here!
GF and I decided to spend the day at San O on Sunday. I worked an area just outside the surf line which had a little depression going from 12 to 18 feet. I had some fresh dead with me but nothing showed any any interest in them, except a 5 ft leopard. I worked the area for a couple hours with a 1/2 oz jig head tipped with a Gulp Nuclear Chicken curly tailed grub. Had a nice pick on small sandies and calicos, but also got 5 smalibuts, so I knew momma was in the area. I finally nailed her around 11:00 am.
She was 44" long and pegged my 40lb spring scale. It's a new PB by over 10 lbs.
