You'll have to wear your tennis whites from now on so the fish shows up better.

Congrats again on a nice fish!
I went out around the corner into deeper water for a whole lot of nothing. Drifted way south. Coming back in I saw some nice bait balls in deeper water and picked up a ling cod that was to close to risk keeping. Put my last bait on my low rig and drop it down too the bottom. Start to paddle in and the clicker zings a little. Pick up the rod and nothing there. Start to paddle again and the clicker zings again. Pick up the rod again and slooooooooowly start reeling in. The rod starts to load up. Let him eat, starts to take line, starts really taking line, spins the kayak around, and spits out the bait. :cry: I don't think I like the circle hooks for bottom fishing. Thin deep slashes in my bait make me think white seabass.

This was from last Friday, when even out-of-staters were getting the YT.

Good to see you back in town, Greg.
