WSB 57lb
 
Early friday morning I was all alone but not lonely. With all the reports of no bait I was using my blue neon & white Jimijig. First dropped I snagged a nice calico at the bouys. The wind was blowing offshore so I was drifting the edge of the kelp throwing the iron. Never saw any real activity when one drop I let it sink to the bottom and started pulling it back medium speed when it got hit real hard and started tearing drag. I felt my line rubbing kelp right away and the sound of my heart pumping in my ears was replaced with a sick feeling in the stomach that although I had hooked a nice fish this was not going to end well. Half an hour later I could'nt believe my eyes. Getting in was real tricky as my kayak was doing a wheeely with this monster on the back. Almost flipped a few times.

woah woah.. some1 said u caught that toad on 20 lb...is that true jimmy..? :shock:

Jimi 04-08-2006 02:14 PM

20 lb ande
 
Looking at it in hindsight 20lb Ande probally was not the best choice of line but to its credit it did the job.

bigderel 04-08-2006 02:37 PM

Incredible catch man! On your own jig (& 20# test) too...what a day. Congratulations

Spinal Tap 04-08-2006 02:46 PM

Jimi,

How deep do you think your jig was when you hooked up?

Thanks,
nate

Arne 04-08-2006 02:48 PM

Outstanding Jimi ... you weren't the only one out there. I got blown outside before grey light and heard about your catch when I hit the beach. Congratulations!
