La Jolla 5-11-15 Double - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

TJones · 05-12-2015, 04:38 PM

Let me know if you see my Tady 45 hanging out of old knot heads mouth ? Just unwrapped it . Got lure wet , along with line on reel . Put into service and hooked up on first pass

. Spooled my tranx on first run , maybe because grumpy was waiting for breakfast in background . Estimated weight of fish 28 lbs . Battled dog for my prize for a half hour . He towed me across lj and back . Finally he used his dog brain and took me to heavy weeds . He surfaced seconds later , 45 yards away still holding prize. I looked at my reel and my line was pointing almost straight down , hung on base of weeds .Snap .

Is that fairly common to have to wrestle your fish from a sea lion at LA Jolla? I will surely end up in the drink if that happens to me.

I watched the same thing happen last week too. Seems like it knows the kelp is its friend. Its a shame we cant...... you get the idea.
