First legal butt!! @ Los Almitos Bay - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Just got of school and had an itching to fish. Launched out of marine bay around 1500. Spent some time with my daughter and then I went off to fish.

Headed to the break walls with Nada to show for it. I started to head back to my launch at about 1830. I think this is when the tide started to move back in. I was starting to get little nibbles and felt a little hope. I was throwing a 3" big hammer at the docks and was not producing squat. At this point, I was about ready to call it a day and start peddling back. I decided to cast one more time between two docks. I felt a little bite and reeled it in a little more and felt a feint tug and then I set the hook. I immediately felt a head shake!! After a great fight, I get him in the yak and measured him at about 26"-28". I didn't have a tape measure, but on my outback it has pre marked measurements at 15", 22", 28", and 30". And from a closed mouth to tail it sat between the closer to 28 than 22. At home, it measured 26" and weighed in at 5.6 lbs.

Here are some pics because a report without it is is just another fish tale!!
