Newport Ling-a-ding 3/28/15 - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Bunch of guys at the CG station at 6am. Ended up meeting Revojoe coming back in, nice meeting you Joe! Worked some usual piles and found a huuuge school of what looked like nice size Reds. Got one drift on them with no takers on the squid. Ready to drop a jig on them, I lost the school, they were really moving that day! Oh well, manage a decent Copper, Starry on another pile. Then went to a reef I like and scraped up a big ass Treefish. Sent some more squid down and that’s when I went bendo on this guy

Bulldogged me the entire way up from 180’, great fight. He had a still fresh 9” Lizard fish half down his throat which promptly was coughed out once I got him on the deck. The tiny pecks a second before the hard hit makes me think he crashed on the Lizard fish working my bait and got himself hooked. Taped out a hair under 33"

Now for a Yani recipe for this beauty!
