A three hour tour - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Went to LJ yesterday. Easy bait at the pier. ( thanks to the crew
on top of the peir for guiding me to the bait boil. Put one high
and one low and headed to the outside can. Lost a couple of
baits to some quick zings across the canyon finger. As soon as
I get to the old kelp line, my bottom line goes off. Gets caught
on the bottom and I pulled a littel too hard. As I'm resetting
up the bottom line, My flyline takes off like a rocket. Before I
got turned into the fish I was down to a third of the spool. I could
feel that the hook up was solid, so I told myself just don't touch
that drag. The fight went on for some time with the fish makeing
some big runs and a few tows. Got it to color with some fight still
in her. Waited untill she was tired and guided her onto my gaff.
No one around to show, when a pb (Sea Star) came up along
side. Thanks Dinnis for helping me put her in my front hatch.
