Those yellow fin croaker can really pull. Mike

By the description it sounds like it was a spiny dog fish. I did not take a pic as I used long forceps to pluck the hook and never took it out of the water. I lost a nice fish finder to a leopard shark that came loose on me up in Ventura and thrashed about in my yak. Not doing that again.
