Mood: Circling the drain........

Hooked onto a basking shark out of Morro Bay once. It was on the surface and as I approached it (giving it plenty of girth), it spun and descended, latching onto my port downrigger. I had two lures hard tied with a 10 pound weight, and the large croc hooked the beast! I thought he was gonna rip off my port gunnel before the line finally broke!



Two dirt roads diverged in Baja and I, I took the one less graveled by......

Dropping a mackerel down getting picked up by some monster that I had to break off was the biggest. Best was either the 55# white sea bass on a bass rig or the 15# ling cod that won second place and $1,000.

Adding a pic from Monday, calico that went 21", weighed about 5lbs and made a wonderful dinner last night! Had to pull him up a 30' cliff between some big waves! Caught 6 calicos that session, kept only the pictured fish!

That is a nice calico from the bluff and great table fare for a sure. Well done!
