Timely video la jolla report - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Launched from the la jolla reefs to dead flat conditions. Made our way out to the outer kelp. The second I jumped off and had one band loaded when a tanker sea bass swam directly under me. Knowing i didn't have the power to take him down, my heart broke as he swam into the thick kelp not to be seen again. The rest of the day we worked in and out of the kelp line. Got anxious with my new gun and took one 18" calico. Saw two seperate Black Sea bass I'm guessing in the two to three hundred point range EASY. Such beautiful creatures to have the priveledge of seeing up close. Wish the camera did them justice. Saw a few yellowtail in small schools (2-3) and large school of sometimes large barracuda. Anyways, my fishing methods have been different, but still, kayak related.
