Fiddy # plus change
50.2# WSB  Shimano Terramar Rod and Daiwa SL20SH...a GREAT battle! Had to break off kelp three times and thought I lost the fish each time. Stuck around hoping for another or morning tails...for a zip...BUT my buddy on his boat gets a triple hook-up and passes a rod over to me. That counts, right?  Night time conditions were sucky 8 mph winds, choppy, chilly, stupid current went opposite the wind...  Six blisters including both butt cheeks, achilles and knees. Note to self when I get home: check inside waders for sand paper. Accidently snagged a dolphin in the dark on a circle hook  which proceeded to snapped the tip of my Cal Star rod, not a fun experience... One berserk snagged seal which luckily broke off... Another note to self...stow mirage drive plug in case a heavy lap load requires paddling in...

Counts somewhat if you get to eat it.
Nice to have a ride in. Congrats on the WSB. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk |

With that kind of effort, and diaper rash to boot, you deserve that catch. What a beauty.

Jim,
You are bad ass. This is the face of someone who's proud of what he has between his legs Last edited by jruiz; 10-07-2013 at 09:50 PM. |

Battle Details
WOW...that's a great catch! Thanks for the fishing report. What size line (rating) and how much drag did you need to land that 50lb fish?

I'm not sure if night time fishing has been good to you or not by your experiences aside from hooking and landing that beast.
Jim is all heart.... Except for the part where he gets towed-in and gets a hand-off.... |

If you don't know Jim you need to know one thing about him....
Jim is a crack head! Yup.....I said it, he is a crack snorting vain shootin up crack head. The guy goes out for an all nighter one night Night two he pulls about 16 or 17 hours straight...... He goes home for a quick shower and grabs new batteries for his kayak and is back on the water welcoming me join him to fish a third night session in a row. Crack ........it's the only way in the world he can do this! Jim, you are an animal. 50 pounder.
