PB first WSB Today ......

So I launch before sunrise in beautiful La Jolla today ...... and tried to catch squid for bait to no avail. Then I tried to catch some bait fish and ended up catching a nice size mackerel. I tail hook it and fly line it around for a little while. And then slam .... I know I have a nice size FISH ON. After a few minutes of fighting the fish, it comes to the surface and it is a nice sized White Seabass , Yes !!!!!!! .... I was extremely excited.......

I ask another kayak fisherman nearby if he has a gaff and says yes and start to paddle over. He set up and takes a swing with the gaff and fails ...(no worries dude, I thank you for the help)... Then ..........

......... a Big effing seal comes by and grabs the WSB and goes straight down. You should have heard the curse words coming out of my mouth .... lol ....

so I fight the seal for 10 to 30 seconds and he lets lose and I crank the fish to the kayak and grab him by the gill plate and yank him aboard .....

I bought the kayak a year ago and this is my personal best to date. 37 inch WSB

Congrats on your PB, but since it was your 1st WSB it stands to reason it would be your PB. Next comes one of the big ones.
Did the meat come out okay?

The seal did no damage thankfully, just a few teeth marks, no loss of meat.

About 6 months ago I had a big sheepshead hanging over the side on the game clip and a seal almost capsized me. He did managed to loose me a fishing pole in the ordeal. It's all good.

Congrats on winning the battle, legal is legal and to beat out a seal for it makes it that much better, the fish looks like it came through unscathed.
You worked for that one...
