No not Sunset, but Sunset is a great place to catch big leo's. I don't ever keep anything I catch or give away anything I catch. Everything is CPR.

Beautiful! Well done! :thumb:

Nice to hear that you don't keep or give away what you catch, Jered. I like to let the fishies continue to grow to fight another day. Hey, if you are ever willing, I would love to come down and learn a thing or two from someone like you. I'm going to try my hand at surf fishing this summer and need some pointers. You say that Sunset is a good place to catch leos? What bait are you using? I've read that live perch work pretty good.

CONGRATS!!!

I bet he put up a good fight.
Last August I caught a 3 footer and boy did he put up a good fight. Caught some smoothies who put up a good lil fight also but nothing like the Leo. Boy trying to unhook him and let him go was fun, kept trying to swing around to bite us. I hope to one day catch a guitar fish, they look like they would be fun to catch. Thanks for the pixs, really enjoyed them.

Schweet Jehosephat Jered, that's a nice fish. Glad to hear you let it go. There's a black market aquarium trade for baby leos you know. They catch pregant females and pull the babies out of them for sale. That's just sick.

Funny thing is, I was thinking of fishing there the other day. Not only that I was going to go with my big set up and try for some sharks. Biggest leo I ever caught was half that size. I've caught a big smooth hound and a spiny dogfish there before too.

Thanks for the report and pics man. Way cool.

[tacklejunkie]

Looks like two different sharks?
Nice work man! Those are crazy! I wouldn't know what the heck to do if I hooked one of those :lol:

Trust me, they are probably the most boring fish you will ever catch. All you have to do is get a circle hook with a whole squid on it and chuck it out as far as you can. When they bite it's like a light tap, then you set the hook and reel in dead weight. I recommend that if you are gonna fish for something in the ray family, you should fish for sting rays. They fight much better and I heard that they taste a lot better too. BTW very nice leo.
