Thanks for the report.
Is it me or are there a lot more BSB being caught this year?

I logged 8 1/2 hrs on Sunday with live squirts for nada. The squid were there and the poles were bendo and I thought it was on for sure. Found out later that most of them were blacks with a few yellows in the mix. It sure was exciting when the bite was on. That's the luck of the draw. We'll get 'em next time!

I was using 30lb. Big Game. I think it was more operator error than the line. I did a couple of things that in looking back I will not do again. I waited until Thursday night to get my gear together and realized I was out of 40lb. so I loaded 30lb. on a reel that I usually fish 40lb. on. It is a lever drag reel with the drags set at around 12-13lbs and I never adjusted down a couple of pounds for the 30lb. Also, I went with a ~10-15 foot topshot to straight spectra. The rod I was using was also the wrong rod. I was using one of my heavy yo-yo rods I use with 50lb for yellows and jig fishing wahoo. With the violent head shakes, bursty runs, tight drags and extra stiff rod I think the shock on the line caused it to break. I basically screwed myself. I will just chalk it up as a lesson learned and not make these mistakes again and hope I get another shot at one of those trophy yellows.
