get to the pier around 7:30....one of the first things out of my mouth to patrick were "today, something big is gona happen cause i forgot my camera" proved partially right.
not much to report.
SLOWW day...alotta sardines around...so there was a lot of bait, just nothing biting...
we both got hit HARD on the the halibut rigs at different times throughout the day... took about half the spool off both of our cardiffs. couple runs here and there....some guy pulled up about a 3 foot leopard which was cool to see.
at some point during the day patrick got this hali...didnt take a measurement cause it was a shorty.

waited around for a bit for nothin to show. noticed some bonito bustin baitballs so we started throwin chrome jigs and little feathers at them, they only wanted to play once...i got about a 12 inch bonito on the sabiki. no pic.
around 7 oclock i tell myeslf about another hour and im probably gonna headout. about 15 mins later my 10 foot spinning surf rod starts buzzin a little bit...i figured it was just the current cause it was getting windy at night. i go over and check it and reel in the slack..but it keeps pulling...i tighten my drag, reel down, set the hook, then BAMMM get taken for a ride up and down the pier.. took me from about the bathrooms by the pier, to behind rubys diner, (if your not familiar with the pier...use the picture of patrick and the hali for reference) and back and forth along the end of the pier.. took about 20 mins to bring this badboy to the surface and able to bring it up...thanks for the great net job patrick...
and on the hook was a this 45-50 lb batray. my first bigger pier fish...on 15 pound test to boot. :Bug Eyes:

sorry for the blury pic...like i said i forgot my camera and and all i had was my cellphone.
that was it for the night...stayed for another hour or so, talked fishing with one of patricks friends, then called it a night.
although the slow action, id trade it for one good run like i had anyday... definately got the heart going...and the huge audience kinda added to the excietment
see you all at legends!
