Got to the spot around 8 a.m. What a beautiful day in LJ!! Saw a guy get towed to the blue Horizon by a Black sea bass. dropped my line down with a live mac around 110 feet. 10 minutes later i start to get towed and i'm like OH NO another black sea bass!! Straight to the boats anchor line OH NO again....

snap line? Maybe.....https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SjB7xE7Aq4s

Gabe, I remember that fish as it was a PIG.

Can't believe just how fat that one was, I bet it was tasty.

Congrats Bro.

Great catch. It can be difficult to land fish from a drifting yak in a group of anchored boats. Good to see every working together. Mike

Solid Fish!

Nice catch Gabe.
Thats a beautiful fish and very cool to see the support. I had a similar scenario last winter and the guy helped me get off the anchor line and tossed me a beer after landing the YT.

Cheers!

Yeah, I'm not sure why Jer (Scallywag) is so pissed off. He used to be one of coolest quietest kayakers for years and all of sudden he has turned into a loud mouth poster child on the planet!

I'm laughing at him cause most of those guys on the boats are my friends.

BTW, I did give the boat plenty of space. A FAT strong 37lb YT will tow you real fast and cover a lot of distance. You can't stop him or break the line...

Go to another site Jer and get your fish report!

Nice fish Gabe! I put up a video a while back where I had to pass my rod under Jerimiahs anchor rope to land my WSB. He was nowhere as helpful?

He calls us "kooks" but I say, it takes one to know one. How does Jeremiah go from "I love kayak fishing" to "I hate kayakers"?

Anyways, thanks to everyone for the kind words.

Lucky... usually he just pulls the anchor straight up and gaffs your fish. Then you will have to "negotiate". Saw him get a nice yellow from the new seaforth that way. Captain got on the loudspeaker and started talking trash... never mind that the wanker dropped anchor right on top of his spread.

Also, you can steer fish out of anchor/bouy lines using rudder in most scenarios... especially with mirage drive? The boat looks like the Alexis, glad they were cool about it. Many are not

Nice fish! Hater's gonna hate bro... do your thing!
