I too have fought the "green dragon" for hours at a time. Broke a fenwick and a kencor to boot.

i think he was the real kayk version of captain ahab.. "Thar she blows!"

forefrazier · 06-09-2009, 09:30 AM

A similar thing happened to a friend of mine while on his boat out at Cortes Bank. He thought he had a huge yellow and may have that eventually wrapped the kelp. I was trying to tell him to give it up...(after 2 hours) but he was convinced he had a record fish on! I wonder if this guy really did have something big on that was towing him at first but then got wrapped?

I once spent an hour in a life and death struggle with bull kelp.(long time ago OK) The current was ripping and it was even making short runs(or so it seemed) Ied of swore it was a monster fish. That of course isn't the case here

Im sure.

IN THIS CASE 5 FT SWELL EQAULS A IRONIC 5 FT RUNS

Jim Sammons LJKF · 06-09-2009, 03:11 PM

A few years ago I watched as an angler fought the bottom for at least an hour. I told him it was the bottom but he refused to believe me, funny enough the "fish" ran every time a swell would go through.

Pac.Man · 06-09-2009, 03:30 PM

Hello all,

OMG, fighting the fish for that much hour, not me. 1hr are the most. But
does anyone know, what he came up with?

Peace.

I was half serious about drifting bull kelp because I've had a battle with the mighty salad myself! It didn't go on for more then 10 or 15 minute and I wasn't fishing with an upside down coffee grinder, but I was amazed at how a little Calico wrapped around kelp felt like THE ONE. I've heard another story like that with a kelp/ling-cod battle going on for quite a long time but I'm not one to start a rumor.

Probably hooked my career...........

I was freediving and hunting off Pt. La Jolla and I saw some mono trailing across under the surface going into the Reserve. I grabbed it with my gloved hand and it towed me about 30 yds, moving so fast I was leaving a wake. I had to decide whether or not I wanted to get towed into the Reserve and fight the fish or try to turn it because I was getting really close to the border.

I put on the brakes and the fish/sea lion/black seabass/monster just kept going straight and the line cut through my padded glove. I was just about going to give it a wrap around my speargun but the bitter end pulled through my hand and that was it. My hand didn't get sliced but my dive glove on my right hand was shredded. My guess, is that it was a bsb but I'll always wonder if it was a monster yt or wsb.

8 hours swinging in the current

Don't know where the drawing came from, but I bet it's right.

That happened to the Fishcatcher one time, didn't have the heart to tell him...then he pulled out a 21" Calico...

I was on an adult thresher for 5 1/2 hours not to long ago. the only thing was I new what I hooked as soon as I hooked it due to the blistering first run and 5 to 8 foot jumps. shark had to be in the 300# class & the fight was on 40# to boot. whats his deal?
