Nice fish!! It's nice to know there is a support group of great guys willing to give another yakker a hand. Some day I'll have to break out the heavy gear and start hitting LJ again.

Hey Brad, Those Molas are really something. I think the only fish slimier is a Roosterfish. I was yo-Yoing on kelp and foul hooked a mola in the 200# range and it almost spooled me. I just put 6# calicos on the menu, this is how it reads......

Pan Seared 6 Pound Macadamia Nut Crusted Calico Fillet
Peeky Toe Crab Risotto, Tatsoi Garlicky Spinach,
Pinapple~Papaya Salsa, Ginger~ Soy Beurre Blanc
lol

Give up the tough guy act Brad! We all no your a LOVER not a FIGHTER!

San Diego is doing you right....We've taken a bite out of the big APPLE!

Man, I can only imagine how it must fill to catch a Thresher on a kayak. Good going.

Great job on landing your shark.

I hooked a thresher today on the surface at 200' of water, 3 miles due west of Big Rock, on a flylined mackerel. Bit thru the 30# flouro in a heatbeat. Saw other tail slaps.

There was a huge area of bait on the surface out there too, tons of big mackerel feeding.

Calm and glassy till 1 pm.

yes the weather was MUCH better than expected, and I was glad to see 2-3 foot swells on the surf report. Matt, I am the kid that was talking to you at the Del Mar Fred Hall show with CJ Siebler.

Good place to make bait. I went out there Sunday morning while Brad, Tyler and their crew watched me go (probably laughing while knowing better). Macs of all sizes were feeding on 1/2 bait fish fry. Tiny little bastards.. I picked through the huge macs and took what I needed. Kurt was right about the big bird schools, not always a good sign...
