I did an 0'dark launch into the 6" surf and hit the pier. A sealion was hanging out and had the macs skittish, Finally at the first hint of grey I decided to take my 3 greenies and head to the spot. Put a bait on the bottom and yoyoed a few times and moved and yoyoed and moved. Third stop, 95 feet, dropped down and started back up and got hit. The fish just sat there shaking it's head for awhile before taking off across the bottom and showing me it's size. The big tail beat had my heart thumping as I knew it was a good one. After some back and forth and color twice I stuck the gaff around 7 AM. Thanks to Adam for coming along and taking a pic. I have not had a fish get my heart pumping that hard in awhile. Sign of squid, as I pulled up an egg sack. YT also had one fresh squid in it's belly.
Andy.......What are you thankful for?
