I was half serious about drifting bull kelp because I've had a battle with the mighty salad myself! It didn't go on for more then 10 or 15 minute and I wasn't fishing with an upside down coffee grinder, but I was amazed at how a little Calico wrapped around kelp felt like THE ONE. I've heard another story like that with a kelp/ling-cod battle going on for quite a long time but I'm not one to start a rumor.
