Launched at 6am with a fairly easy surf made bait pretty quick and got to fishing hooked into the Black seabass around 8am got me stuck in kelp or on the bottom for a little put it in free spool and nothing happen no line going out nothing gave it a couple cranks and free spool again stayed patient and all of a sudden the fight was back on got it to the top and noticed it was hooked in the forehead area not the mouth don’t know how that happened but sure made it easy for a safe release got a quick video on my phone before I got him off the hook started the paddle back to where my brother and cousin were fishing about 100 yards away where I originally hooked the fish I’m showing them the video and literally as I’m doing that my brothers rod gets slammed him being a newbie and a little intimidated by the screeming reel I stayed close to help land the fish his made his way into the kelp as well he wasn’t being very patient and tried to pull in thru the kept he felt to pops and line looses pressure thinking he just lost the fish he keeps reeling and we see the tail sticking out of the water he realizes it’s still on the line and about a min later i gaff it for him best day of fishing for me. Tight lines
