Nice catch!

Next time you take a picture with the GPS in the frame, leave it turned on with the coordinates showing...

FishinKid - GPS was on, believe me, I blew up the photo to full res first
to make sure there was enough glare for y'all.

I'd planned to fish the morning only and get back to the beach by noon,
but, that plan didn't work out.

I really hate to be in a kayak in whitecaps, and, especially landing in rough
seas. That was a long, long 2+ mile pedal in. At one point outside the kelp
there was an "open ocean wave" that became a whitecap on my stern. I
looked back into an 8' vertical wave face and somehow managed not to
bury the bow.

The surf zone terrified me, so I latched everything down, expecting to ride
a 5 footer. I waited for a huge set to pass and just layed into the
pedals, steered left then hard right doing a big zip zag with the rudder
following a channel in the sand bar. Somehow I managed to land
unscathed.

Lots of excitement for some rockfish. These will supplement my lobster
from tomorrow night (yet another swell window is at hand, just in time!).

Lobster season's last day is the 17th, Wednesday.
