LJ...tough but producing

[undrH2Ohntr]

Hi guys,
Been around a while but as a diver. See many of you at the launch, talk with some, and exchange info. with others. I love getting fish stories here and gather a bit of intel. as well. Thought I would reciprocate.

LJ has been really tough the last couple of weeks, kelp is always down and the wind is up when I'm out in the afternoons. This is tough for us (divers). Anyways, water is blue, fairly warm, and there are some slobs closer to home than you might think. This one came from a school of beasts just on the fringe of the kelp. Last night.

I attached a picture of my little rig, I'm always game to share info. and let you know what I'm seeing down below.

36lbs... and made me earn it...tied up all over the bottom despite my best efforts to put the brakes on.
