Dana point Sunday 9/11 - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Dang! A keeper leopard is on my list. 36 inches and I'm taking it home.

Was surfing with my daughter last year right next to the jetty at Doheney. I saw something move underneath us. and tried to get the glare off the water. I got up on my knees so I could lookdown and there it was again. Then again and again. We had happened on a small bait ball that had 4 or 5 keeper leopards eating off it. I told my daughter to keep her hands and toes out of the water. I didn't want a finger being mistaken for a minnow. We watched them darting under us for about 10 minutes until they moved on. Ever since then I've wanted one.

Nice day of fishing you had, congrats

I have read conflicting reports about the taste of Leopard Sharks. Has anyone eaten one and how was the taste?
