4/12 am LJ



launched at 5:30am. small surf, no wind, clear sky, ideal conditions. Dropped my B/W 6x jr. all over until I got a nice puller for about 3 minutes before it somehow got unbuttoned on me. I was pumped and dissappointed both at the same time. Earlier I had lost my "go to" 6x jr and had to use my low confidence 6x jr that had a single hook instead of the treble hook.My buddies and I saw lots of big fish surface boils but could not get to them quick enough. All of a sudden I saw one just to my left, I sent out the iron and instanltly I was on. Nice puller.

42" at the fork
28 lbs on the certified scale at OEX, Pt Loma.

Nice fish John. Still a bit pissed that I farmed my one shot, but glad you got into one. At least I had tasty cod tacos for dinner last night. Heard it was dead out there today.

Ah..... Honestly,,, I swung as fast as I could, didn't wanna give ole yeller a second chance. A sea lion nipped him but didn't break the skin so I was panicked.

Had one zinger on a flylined mac but came unbuttoned after about 15 seconds. Had another 25#ish yellow chase my iron right up to my boat before darting off into the dark. I was always just out of reach of the boils....CRAP!
