6/13/12 LJ Thresher
I went out to La Jolla Kelp with a buddy. We couldn't make any greenies, but freelined the bait we did catch on 65lb specta and 20lb fluro, just north of LJ I got some little tugs and then wham! My reel was lit up. What ever it was it was really pissed off, and fortunately it headed everywhere except for the kelp, and I got pulled around for about 25 min, with my line right at the breaking point, and the fish kept stripping line like it was possessed. I thought it was yellow on 'roids, but turned out to be a Thresher. BIG thanks to Jerry for sticking around to help and take pics. I've been fishing a lot this year, but aside from a 6 foot mako about a month ago (which I didn't bring into my yak) this is my first catch of the year. I just gave a bunch of steaks to the neighbors they are almost as stoked as me. Sully

That thing hung around all morning... There was probably lots in the area but had one almost jump out of the water at a bait i was reeling in today.
