Went to 72nd st this morning on my wife's B-day :lol: to do somefishing and to play with my new toy some more. Got there around 6:00am and saw a few other anglers, some from the rocks and some from the surf. A man name Kieth was using live bait and caught 3 halis within 30 mins I was there. 2 legal and 1 short. AT 'bout 8:00am I finally caught one, it was a lil over 22" took a pic and off he went to get bigger. Fished a little more and got snagged on a rock :evil: . I wasnt going to let the ocean god claim another one of my LCFM that I ordered from Japan, so i dove in and got it, Only lost 1 hook :twisted: . AT this point Im dripping wet from neck down. Good thing I left my wallet and phone in my truck. Did lose my Newports though. I hung around for30-45 more mins and called a morning. All and all it was a great morning....Caught my 1st legal from the surf. Nice weather, clean, calm water, and light wind.

Going out 2morrow morning if anyone want to go with. 1 of the 3 places 72nd, Seal, or Cherry or even all 3.


Damn Rithy, sure looks like you picked the right number door...and your prize is...go try for a bigger one! Now you can just relax and fish.


Nice Dude!!!!

Congrats on the surf legal - still looking for mine! - It's a lot tougher than HaliJedi makes it look! :D


Cheers, I'd definitely would have to agree with you on that.

I often wonder how you tube dudes handle one while it is slapping and flipping all over the place. The tow ride must be classic to see.

Nice going Rithy!
