Reminds me of my first surf launch at Cabrillo, took a wave close to that size straight to the chest. Fortunately, I wasn't tossed but it was definitely one of those "OOH SH*T" moments. Congrats on the Cabezon, that thing is a beast! I know this is an oxymoron but that's the pretty ugliest Cabezon I've ever seen.

Very cool, thanks for update form up North!

You guys have some gnarly swell to deal with...

I hate when they roll forever like that.

That cabazone is a pig! I've only caught 2 hare in South CA for all my time fishing, and they were much smaller.

Sup lamb!

Yeah, believe it or not, that's about an average sized cabby for Depoe Bay. During the Oregon Rockfish Classic last year, I caught at least four or five around that size and ended up in fifth place. The guy who took first caught a cabby that was 11lbs and 25.5". That's why I love that place, plenty of piggies to fight!

Really well done report, nice footage, nice fish, the yard sale footage definately had pucker factor in it and sorry it happened, glad it wasn't too bad, but again great camera footage, I wouldn't know what to do with a
Cab that big, yummy!
I actually thought the launch looked like it was a place out here called Morro Bay...nice job bravo

WahooUSMA · 03-09-2011, 05:41 PM

Very cool. Great video's!

Aaron&Julie · 03-09-2011, 06:04 PM

Looks like you gave it a hell of a try to get past those breakers. I can only imagine the fishing would have been much better, otherwise you'd have not given it a go. Still your results at the location change were very, very good.

Nice report on some fine eating fish you caught.

StinkyMatt · 03-09-2011, 06:16 PM

Very, Very,Very LARGE brass ones!

overheard at a S. Ca launch:

"Man those waves are so, so big, maybe we should just go have a martini or a strawberry daquiri and go by the fish market on the way home."

dfroggy54 · 03-09-2011, 06:59 PM

nice cabezon, thats a dark one! i really thought you made it too. nice jiggin on those rock fish!

GregAndrew · 03-09-2011, 08:42 PM

Awesome stuff there!! If that is the average stuff there you guys need more cameras for us to live vicariously through.

Tman · 03-09-2011, 10:44 PM

Very cool videos, man you guys have it tough just to be rewarded with those bounties...

Hard to believe the fish are that close to the coast, and I gotta say, that coastline looks epic. I have family in Mendocino coast and it looks the same but have yet to take the yak out up there.

Think I wanna go fish there someday.

Keep the vids and posts coming, sweet watching you guys charge it...

Ndavissd · 03-10-2011, 07:24 AM

That was gut check time - like the other guys said I thought you had it but for every stroke you were backed up 7. Thanks for sharing that it was great footage!

mbsurf · 03-14-2011, 01:11 PM

Yakinitup, many, many years ago I was a Portland guy, and used to work weekends at Next Adventure. I can remember when they opened in a small space about a block from the current store. There was barely anything in the place at first, but then the place blew up!

Killer vids!

cabojohn · 03-14-2011, 03:50 PM

Not much time between sets...

I give you a A+ for trying. I enjoyed the video. Thanks for posting.

Jimmyz123 · 03-14-2011, 06:50 PM

Great post man. That was an insane paddle out. I'm glad all turned out well for you.

fongman · 03-15-2011, 12:37 AM

Quite the adventure. I'm glad your perseverence paid off with a nice bounty of some sweet eats. We take it for granted how easy we have it down here.

btw, how do you have your camera mounted? It has got to be secured pretty solidly to withstand the punishment you put it through!

old_rookie · 03-15-2011, 07:47 AM

Since we are on the subject of surf launch videos.... anyone have one or two surf launch videos from LJ Shores?? (risking thread jacking here....)
