2015 white Seabass King - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Iceman · 06-01-2015, 02:55 PM

Caught in the merry month of May in 55 feet of 64 degree water on a greenback mackerel 65 spectra rigged to a 3 way swivel and 40# mono 3 oz torpedo and 2/0 live bait hook. Launched at 5 am and got bit at 10:30am. Crazy run had me wondering shark as I had been bit off earlier. Finally above the fish and the big broom tail had me wondering if that was a bat rays wings I was feeling. spectra definitely amplifies everything. At deep color I thought shark for a split second then "Holy $#!+" don't F this up Andrew! easy seabass gaff at the surface and tricky hoist into the kayak, pedals inopperable had to paddle in. Weighed 54.7 pounds and measured 54 inches. This is my 3rd WSB over 50 pounds and my second biggest in 17 years of kayak fishing. Very Stoked! Had some greatly appreciated help in looking for this fish. Thank you! Now hopefully some pot holing wanker does not steal the crown

Let me be the first to congratulate you on that awesome catch.
The crown is yours. "for now"

It must of been an oversight but you didn't mention where you were.

Heard a new king was about to be crowned but I thought I would take it over for a few minutes. Didn't enter this when I caught it cause it didn't occur to me... I'm still new here I guess. Tale of the tape and scale 50" 55 pounds even, LJ in february.

Sounds like to me you were try'n to be a WCW sniper!

Nice fish though

58.6lbs, 59 inches. Thought it was a hali when it first bit, then thought it was a black the way it was fighting, just towing me around with no big runs. Halfway into the fight I got the big headshakes had me excited for the right kind. At gaff had to do a double take to make sure it wasn't a black since it looked giant. Big tournament fish gets the heart racing!
