12/23 Christmas comes early
 

Launched with Steveooo at first light. Easy timing on the surf with sets that you wanted to avoid. Tough bait, I only had 2 greenbacks after an hour and figured I'd start fishing and hope more came through. Pulled up my bait to check it and a cormorant swam at it. He missed it but would not let me drop it back down. I dropped the Sumo blue and white down. :jig: Right about the top of the tide. Deadsticked it for a minute and looking at the screen there were good marks coming across the bottom. Lifted the tip once and got tagged. Fish hunkered down and ran across the bottom before getting gassed and up for the floater gaff 30-35 pounder. :wsb: 110 feet.........stoked! Probably my last fish for 2014......maybe not :D

Congrats on the nice catch.

Nice fish. I launched right behind you guys. I had no problem making bait in by the kelp. But all I got was a bunch of bonitos. Pretty cool out there today, great conditions and lots of whales.

nice job Andy:wsb:

Nice!

Nice!! There is still some time to get more before 2014 is up! Im trying to get another good one!

You have some of the best on-the-water pictures this year. Congrats!!!

Normally cormorants are just a pain in the ass. I think that one must have been Santa's little helper.

Nice fish!!

That my fav fish! Gratz

Nice fish Andy! Some good eats for the holidays.

Great detail in the shot by Stevooo -- what camera are you using?
