First trip to La Jolla- never going to forget!
BTW- all the fish was donated to a local church who is going to use it to help feed 100+ homeless/needy people. |

Congrats. Did he have any other hooks in his mouth, like a ringed circle hook with a 40 lb fluorocarbon leader. Fought one for 40 minutes last Sunday and cut it off when along side of the kayak.

Cool catch for sure. seems unlikely but after seeing it on the beach it looked more like a big eye than a common. Got any closeup pics of the head?

Looks like he's hooked on the pectoral fin...That must of been fun. What kind of rod/reel and tackle we're ya using?
I hooked into one of similar size but it took 3 hours before he dragged my buddy and me 4 miles to sea. we lost him/her 30 ft below the yak. Long paddle in w our tails between our legs. Congrats, but you're ruined now. It's gunna be real hard living up to this trip. |
