Today was my first time surf fishing at samo. I arrived a little past 6am. the water seemed calm enough with almost no wind and very overcast, the sun didn't peak out once the entire morning. Used gulp sw camo and sand crabs for bait. the bsp bite was consistent with 8+ caught between 3" to 8" (first time catching bsp on the surf). later in the morning i managed to find a ginormous sc with row so i hooked it and cast out as far as i can and start to reel it in slowly. all of a sudden i feel a strong pull so i give a yank and feels heavy. I started reeling and my drag starts zinging real hard, (first time having drag burned that hard). Having my drag burn like that caught be off guard so instead of easing off and letting it take line, like a dummy, i pull and the leader breaks, sad story :Crying: . Anyway couple pictures of the larger bsp from this morning. Had to leave around 10:30am, the wave started picking up and all these surfers started popping up from nowhere.
