alot.... they are a different fish when mouth hooked...you can still beat up on the little ones, but you hook one over 200 in the mouth and you better have someone to hand it off to...they will hurt you..

Nice fish!! It's nice to know there is a support group of great guys willing to give another yakker a hand. Some day I'll have to break out the heavy gear and start hitting LJ again.

Hey Brad, Those Molas are really something. I think the only fish slimier is a Roosterfish. I was yo-Yoing on kelp and foul hooked a mola in the 200# range and it almost spooled me. I just put 6# calicos on the menu, this is how it reads......


Pan Seared 6 Pound Macadamia Nut Crusted Calico Fillet
Peeky Toe Crab Risotto, Tatsoi Garlicky Spinach,
Pinapple~Papaya Salsa, Ginger~ Soy Beurre Blanc

San Diego is doing you right....We've taken a bite out of the big APPLE!

Man, I can only imagine how it must fill to catch a Thresher on a kayak. Good going.

Great job on landing your shark.

I hooked a thresher today on the surface at 200' of water, 3 miles due west of Big Rock, on a flylined mackerel. Bit thru the 30# flouro in a heatbeat. Saw other tail slaps.

There was a huge area of bait on the surface out there too, tons of big mackerel feeding.

Calm and glassy till 1 pm.

yes the weather was MUCH better than expected, and I was glad to see 2-3 foot swells on the surf report. Matt, I am the kid that was talking to you at the Del Mar Fred Hall show with CJ Siebler.

Good place to make bait. I went out there Sunday morning while Brad, Tyler and their crew watched me go (probably laughing while knowing better). Macs of all sizes were feeding on 1/2 bait fish fry. Tiny little bastards.. I picked through the huge macs and took what I needed. Kurt was right about the big bird schools, not always a good sign...
