Bob,
truly a pleasure taking the ride with you yesterday. The most entertaining part of the day was watching that bass style pole bent in half, like Josh described in another post. I swear it looked like it was going to snap in half. The fog was disorienting and didnt break til about 1130 at which time I had an idea how truely close we were to the beach......abour 400 yds outside the sanctuary. You handled it nicely, a fish earned no doubt.
I went outside when I knew where the hell I was and got stuck with a bonito I wound up tossing to a seal to keep his attention away from another guy who seemed like he was lit up.
They call it fishing, not catching
What a great sport, met some nice folks that day.
On the swimmer, major darwin award winner. Im sure the kayaker saved his or her life that day.The soup was so thick that a disoriented swimmer in the water wouldnt have had a snowballs chance in hell of survival. I think the guys name is Leonardo, see him frequently on the water. Nice guy, probably saved a life Friday.
Congratulations Bob.
Get a more stout rod. You get into a big seabass with that thing you are toast.
Yor new friend
Chris
