Hello,
I decided to hit up the harbor with a buddy of mine. The weather was perfect, high 60's / low 70's. We caught tons of macks, and a few smaller rays, on sardines (8lb line).
I wanted to try for a shark, so I rigged up a reel with 40lb (and a short wire) and tossed out a mack. After about 30 minutes I got a solid hit. I fought this beast for at least 20 - 25 minutes. (Got stuck around the anchor, rocks, etc).
Well instead of being a shark, it was a decent size ray. Took some pictures and let it go.
I am not really sure about a weight estimate. Any suggestions?
Thanks for reading
