That would be a pretty cool experience just seeing one let alone hooking one. Was that in the 18-20 foot zone there off the beach?

Sure was. Another thing that struck me is that it didn't even seem to care that it was hooked. Like it knew nothing would mess with it.

Too cool!

If that had happened to me, I'd be buying a GoPro today for the next time it happens...

Wow! Too close for comfort for me! You were wondering what they taste like... He was probably wondering that about you!

I have never fished DP. Surf launch?

You have your choice between a harbor boat launch, harbor baby beach launch; or for the adventurous, a surf launch out of Doheny.

These guys are certainly out there, in greater numbers than I believe most people think. Anyone who has fished/surfed the San Onofre/Trestles area with any regularity can attest to this. I had an 8-10 footer maul a HUGE halibut I had hung for about 35mins (light line) off the domes.....about 10ft off the bow of my kayak, in only 12ft of water! Pretty cool to see, but bummed on that hali.

That's the 3rd one I've seen there in the last year.
