Great job kiddo, great story. I've yet to land my first ghost, but like you I am eager and know this season will be the season I get one.

That's real cool and all, but at what point are you gonna catch your own fish?



Not trying to be a dick but rubbing in everyone's face that you paid someone to basically attach a fish to your line and you just reeled it in just kicks dirt in the hundreds of times I've scoured la jolla for nothing.



Just sayin.

I caught a lot of tail while on spring break .... god knows it looked (and smelled) better than.. if I could only do it again?

Congrats, all kidding aside that is awesome, thanks for the report.

Please expand, I know I am new to this forum. But, you cannot just make a statement like that on give more detail? If the kid caught the fish true and true why would you say something like that ? What is your point? I mean no offense by this statement.

I know the OP says he's very busy with school and has a hard time getting out regularly. Well, so does everyone else. I juggle a night job and two CRAZY kids and find time to get out every so often. I'm happy to be on the water catching no fish at all. But WHEN that monster shows it color, I'm satisfied with all the hard work I've put into it start to finish. All the prep. Wet launches. Intel. Rig tying.... It all pays off.


I apologize if I came across dickish at first, four posts about la jolla monsters, all written the same way with the same picture and same "I paid a guy to get me on fish" got me a little buggered. All these reports get my heart racing and motivated to get on the water not knowing if I'll skunk out or reel in glory. THATS the sport. There is no sport in taking the shortcut.

Just because you hire a guide does not guarantee a fish. To me it's like chartering a private boat. As opposed to going on a party boat. It seems to me that you just had a little to much hateraid last night. To step on anyone's post and down play them isn't cool. You are entitled to your opinion. But it's tacky to post it on a thread like this. Don't hate cause the kid has the means to speed up his learning curve.

Not trying to sound like a dick

Just sayin

You're not trying to be a dick but because you said what you did you are a dick I'll have to admit that because I was thinking the same thing I'm a dick to
