Very good meeting you as well. It was interesting to hear your story and compare notes. I guess it's just a seasonal thing where they come through. I've never seen so many big sharks congregated in one area like that before local.

After you guys left I had a large Sevengill swim right up to the kayak in the dark. Later a whale came up and started beating it's tail on the surface of the water, just outside of me. I could not see it but it sounded huge.

So are you going to fish this week? Thursday looks the best wind wise but they are saying 4+ at the shores.

I hate night trips on a kayak. Especially alone. Nothing to do but think and over analyze everything. It doesn't help either that your hearing is amplified at night. Things that are farther out sound right next to you. Things that are right next to make you crap your pants. Spent four years in the Marine Corps, won't do 4 minutes on a kayak in the middle of the night.

"For reference the one he released was a third larger."

Another great story!
Damn Josh, another great fish.
You go me thinking...where the heck do you put all of your fish when you get home?

I didn't have a problem with you posting a picture of my fish before you even sent me a copy

, but you were supposed to keep the real White Seabass secret to yourself. Now that everyone can see the "liquid patience" in the cup holder the White Seabass population is doomed. Remember folks, all things in moderation, but enjoying a brew burried in ice while watching the sunset with friends will add a couple of years to your life. I like to bring just one, only to be drank as a celebratory cold one after I finish the job...if you really want that beer you will make it happen
