Thanks guys....he was in true form, winding down, screaming "Oh yeah, I've got a big one on..."
The whole time he's gaining no line cuz we had the drag loosened up for halis. I told him he had a rock fish, as in he was snagged, he's telling me he feels him pulling. Ya right....
Then I see a flash of white, then the bars..."Holy chit, he's got a WSB..."
Quick pic, and the fish swam away.
As soon as I figure out how to get it from the phone to the computer, I'll post it.
But I must warn you.
I will be photo chopping the pic...
To hide the very distinctive landmark for one, and for two, gonna add a couple inches to the fish, make him look at least 26" long....maybe give him some girth too...
