4-6-10 After farming three fish in as many weeks,I finally caught this gal.I went straight spectra and was able to wrangle her out of the brush.Surf picked up while I was out and I pearled coming in,losing my glasses and my three go-to outfits(A GUSA with an SX2,Shimano calcutta from washington with an SX2 and a shimano rod with a new Sealine 30)Thank God I was able to save the fish by grabbing it in the gills(OUCH!)that made it all sting less.I have horrible vision so I called a friend to go to my house and get my old glasses.He drove 110 miles just so I could see to drive home.

The fish is hanging on a 50# scale which proved useless.I cought the fish late in the PM and it was about midnight when the pole shot was taken.I was too tired at the time to get a good weight and I have regretted it at times but it doesnt really matter.The fish was a tad over 57" and fat.I am 6'2" and 230 for scale.

Did I mention this was my first legal seabass ...
