La Jolla 6/1 report

[monstahfish]

Went out about an hour before low tide. Pier was covered in lizard fish jumping all over the sabikis. Sonar was empty until the incoming started cranking and we found macs. Trolled them around for nada for a few hours and eventually hit on some cudas and calicos chasing bait to the surface. Only sign of a yellowtail was with my last bait out, at like 2pm I had a blistering run off on a 16 inch mac. When I engaged the drag I lost it and got my mack back with a crushed head and no other wounds. With it dead and no more baits, I turned my attention to topwater calicos and got a few on the spook before heading in. There was a seal in the area but I've had yellows crush the heads of macs in the past so I think it was the right kind. Thoughts? Maybe I should have given it more than the 5 mississipis cause of the size of the mac?
