Hey John, great post and picture. Thanks for the help with the BSB.

I hooked that bugger in 104ft of water and it took me from in front of the launch do south into the kelp in front of the condo (60ft). I knew it was a big fish but I didn't think it was a BSB until after about a half hour of fighting it. Once it got free of the kelp it took me straight north. close to the canyon edge where after about 1:15 minutes it finally came up. What an incedible sight! I saw Icemans 50lb WSB last Feb and I think this BSB was more than 2x larger than that easy. The best part was watching John swim with the fish until it got back enough energy to majestically swim away. I was spent, today my arms shoulders and back are sore as hell. I caught it on fresh squid that Josh generously offered me, I've never met Josh before, and this guy pedals up to me from out of nowwhere and asks me if I want some fresh squid? This is a testament about some of the quality people you meet on the water, thanks again Josh.
