Cool thread idea Andy
Is it ok if I google WSB and post a pic? Just so I can show the approximate size of the ones I farmed? |

Don, I caught tons of bitchen sunrises from different points of view on the water and savored every soul searching moment I had on the big blue. No porn star this year!

Andy as you know I've only been fishing La Jolla for a year and only really fished it seriously for a few months last spring before the white Seabass showed up, up here.
I caught bigger fish offshore this year, even got my first local Marlin which I've been chasing for years, but even counting my skiff fish I still got to go back to this La Jolla fish from last March as my favorite: It's such a beautiful and pic, (thanks Josh) My second La Jolla Yellowtail (caught my first that morning) I was fishing alone and found my own fish (Josh was fishing Halibut at the time, and there was no-one else out there) For me it just does not get much better then that. Here's both my first and second La Jolla tail from that day I remember at the time you told me doubles like that are one in a million. I imagine one of these days I'll get bigger or more tails on my yak, but that fish and that day is going to stick with me for a long time. Jim Last edited by Fiskadoro; 12-31-2009 at 11:18 AM. |

Great thread.
I am pretty proud of this one, towed me around for about a day and a half. He hit a Humboldt squid on a carolina rig I had in about 80 feet of water.
Sea Bass.jpg Ok, seriously, I had this one this summer when I was just starting out.....beginners luck rears its ugly head (second fish from the kayak). 41LB Halibut 004.jpg 41LB Halibut 013.jpg 41lbs. |

it was a pretty good year, fished the bays allot, won my first tournament [OEX night tourny], caught my first WSB [juve in the bay!] and enjoyed setting up and getting used to a new yak. The picture is a Miramar LMB. Not a huge fish, but I am learning the LMB scene and I find Miramar tough to coax fish from.
Happy New Year and tight lines everyone |

I think I will have to pass on this one. If you combine the weights of all the "big" fish I caught this year the total does not come close to the monster WSB that Bigbarrels caught.
Maybe next year. Bob |

Yakrider, we have a lot in common. Same boat, same size fish and Josh put us on both of them. Interesting.
