Awesome fish!
I was completely obsessed with breaking the 10 lb Calico barrier for many years. After multiple 8's, and watching my friend pull a 9+ off the Dog beach jetty, I finally caught my prize off of all places the Mission jetty (released to keep making babies). The good news is, as soon as I caught my trophy Calico the obsession was over, and I completely quit targeting Calico's to this day. I would have to guess she is a solid 8.5 lb+, and could be right at the 10 lb barrier (hard to tell without an exact length and pictures can be missleading). No joke, a fish of a lifetime, as she will probably be the biggest one you ever catch, so thanks for sharing.
