ok finally got the resized image. My wife and I decided a Baja run was needed. Surf was predicted flat for the entire week so we drove to San Quintin for a few days. Went out on a panga and got valuable info - being a polyglot does have great benefits. I ran into Wavester and recognized him from LJ - he had pulled my Honda Civic out of deep LJ sand around 4:30 am some months ago. We exchanged some info and decided to meet the next day.
Day 2 launched at 6 am in the kayak and birds were working just offshore. I knew it would be a great day. I hooked up trolling a 18 cm Yo Zuri. The rod bounced a tad, I turned and looked at the tip, and the entire rod jerked violently followed by line zipping away on 30 lb test. Yeah!! The birds continued to work and I made a half hearted attempt at number 2 but I knew I was done for the day - no need to be greedy
It weighed in at 55 lbs on the digital
