Gentle swells but got hit with 3 giant waves nevertheless, soaked by 0620
Bait hunt = 1.5 hour for 8 Spanish, 1 bonus 2lb Bonito that swallowed my 3 oz sinker on sabiki
1st drag screamer @ 0815 ..... swing & missed... damn....
rebait.... troll.... 2nd hit around 0900... let it run, let it run (repeat 10 times), swing and hook set... fish on!
total fight time = ETERNITY!!!! aka... probably 5-10 minutes, i couldn't tell with all the adrenaline rushing!
