50# cbass...
Black sea bass that is!
Doing the North County thing this morning, with a few of the locals. Met Greg at the launch and headed out to meet up with Byran (Surfisher). Got out to the spot, made bait easily, and dropped down to see what might be lurking. Got picked up and preceded to fight my first hookup for about 35-40 mins before I pulled the hook.  Casted out again and hooked this smaller sized BSB, which ended up being over a hour long tug of war. Byran and Greg came in to see if they might be able to assist, and took some pics of the event. Once I finally pulled this bad boy/girl from the depths, I then released it. To help this Beautiful looking fish re-stabilize, Surfisher swam it down about 20-25 ft a couple of times, before it finally righted itself swimming down and unharmed!!! You swimming it down is epic!!!  Super stoked on the Pics - Bryan - Thanks!!! Biggest fish from my yak so far, and I am So Stoked!!! Pulling on fish is what we like to do, and that's exactly what I did this morning... Last edited by Geno Machino; 09-20-2015 at 04:23 PM. Reason: spelling |

Amazing photo. That's one to enlarge and hang on the wall.
I'm meeting lots of kayak fishermen who are good and responsible people, and I feel proud to be amongst this new circle of friends.

super cool pix!
looking at the girth, i'd say that fish is WAY over 50# as a point of reference, the bigger of the 2 bsb at mary birch aquarium is over 250# according to the staff. |
