Wow! I was working on the thunderbird today and heard about this on the receiver while we were loading bait. I didn't believe it when i heard it, but that is awesome. That fish was really lost a long way from home. Congrats on the catch!

Wahoo seen schooling from Pier J to Alamitos jetty.
Only a couple boats got in on the action. Get in on these local exotics before it is too late ! Look for birds.

Long Beach resident Ricardo Ramirez caught this one below off Belmont Pier saturday afternoon but had to perform a beach landing due to the size.
He said 'I just went down there to try for a shark. When it took my bait I thought it was stuck on someones boat when it took off. After 45 minutes we got it up on the beach.
This is the happiest day of my life.' He said during a CNN interview.

Just my reply is BS.
I believe it. I've heard that there is Turtles that live up that river. The Edison warm water would make is possible. Ask those guys fishing at PCH where the Edison water flows, they might have seen it.
I think it time to call Jeremy Wade ! http://i220.photobucket.com/albums/dd39/stressmaster5000/Monster%20Fish/6a00d8341c630a53ef0133ecc68ecf970b-.jpg DR

You guys that are calling this BS are kidding right? That is a pic taken at nacho's bait barge and does not look like it was photoshopped.
