Holy Smokes nice haul guys!!!!!

First off...well done amigos!
So, before anybody goes out, trying to equal this session, y'all must know that the recon for this trip was exhausting and expensive.
Between all those involved, it was approaching 100+ hours of time on the water, 2 bottles of talcum powder for chaffed derrières, 3 bottles of sunscreen, an absolute metric sh!t-ton of fluorocarbon, hooks, and weights, the incorporation of a spare Mirage Drive (Hobie makes an amazing product no doubt - even Toyotas need some repair after 100,000 miles, right?), and going a bit cross-eyed from staring at FF's while charting bathymetry, things finally paid off.
To those that think that you will just launch your kayak, pedal/paddle for 10 minutes, drop a line, and come home with these kinds of trophies...well that's called luck.
This is called dedication, devotion, sacrifice, and should be applauded.

I was so tired the second day in a row of two work shifts into all nighter paddle outs, that I fell asleep on the water that morning. I don't even know how I made the ridiculous drive home. I went in as everyone was scoring. Way stoked for you guys. Came up surprisingly empty on day one. I'm due for an epic day coming up here.

I leave for ONE day Jim and you murder it. I'm losing tire tread chasing these bites with you, but it's nice to get out of our local water and avoid the summer parades in La Jolla.

You're killing it Jim, and you sewer boys are cute as hell

Adi!...

Rob...

Team Sewer and Team Lollipop

I can only base my perceptions on real experiences and I do know these guys fish very, very hard, pounding hours on the water, traveling miles (both on the water and on the road) and are ready with the right gear and knowledge. Rarely are they ever chasing a bite but crave to find the bite. This incredible day was definitely well earned but the experience of hammering it once it was located, kicked into high gear that I just can't describe in writing. AND at the same time...this won't be a permanent way point in any our FF's. Merely a random wad of butts found by 10 fanned out yakkers who then knew how to work it VERY hard and tight in unison. Synchronized fisherman? Next week, we'll all probably be spread out working different areas again....it literally began as a day to hang with each other because there wasn't much going on...

Adi, thanks for the pics.

As for me:

In bed at 1130pm
up at 2am
Making a 100+mile one way drive hoping that something will happen
breakfast being some Reeses peanut butter cups and a Monster energy drink
getting my gear prepared and hoping I will not forget something while four other guys are telling you to 'hurry the F up'
being on the water and realizing that I left your fresh dead in the freezer

I can't tell you guys how often I got so close to some of the private boaters and not once did someone say, "Hey A-hole! You're to close to my boat/line". For once, everyone played friendly and the fishing God's payed us back in return with some quality fish. Heck, the smallest fish was only 15lbs

. Seeing guys hook up back to back to back in less than 10minutes is priceless, nothing can replace those images in my head. Especially, when those guys are fishing within 75' of each other.

Jim, my hats off to you buddy

Adi, thanks again for not only taking the pics but offering to take the pics, you are a gentleman and a scholar

steveooo · 08-25-2013, 08:05 PM

Insane fishing! How cool is that!

Adi, welcome to the 40 club

roby · 08-25-2013, 08:06 PM

What an epic day!!!

The halibut slayers strike again......I gotta get my ass out on the water ASAP!!!

kaya_one · 08-25-2013, 08:32 PM

Amazing. This is what all of the rookies like me look up to be. When I grow up I wanna be one of those Lollipop Sewer guys. Thanks for sharing and keeping everyone wanting more.
That right there is a mag article - one of you guys should write it up because from what I just read that has all of the details to "go to print" (and Adi's pics to prove it...and CBad can put a quick sketch together).

JeffB · 08-25-2013, 10:04 PM

Congrats guys! Very nice!

todd one · 08-25-2013, 11:50 PM

Nice, boys. You guy got down to business, all of you.

blitzburgh · 08-26-2013, 08:05 AM

Sully1 · 08-27-2013, 11:31 AM
