well....it's a pretty sad day over all.......
went to san clemente, worked the beach near the pier, 7am-10am, no luck.:Skunk:
on my way back home will pass dana point so I figured why not try the jetty today?
haven't been there for a while.
about the 3rd or 4th cast I felt something, but when I tried to reel in it just felt like a dead weight,
so I thought it was just a big piece of kelp.
when it gets close to the jetty I felt it pulling pretty hard, now I realized I got something big!!
after a short good fight I finally saw it, it's some kind of ray!! huge:Titanic:!! biggest fish ever that appear at the end of my line!!!
so I climbed down and try to pull it out of the water.
with no tool, no help (and no experience:LOL:) I ended up pulling the line with my hand.
then.....the magic happened:Shocked:................
the 40# line was holding pretty well, but all of a sudden the hook (owner ssw red finish size 2)got bent !! splash! back to the water it goes........

I wanted to grab that tail so bad but I couldn't reach it.......
with a deep sadness I went back up and keep on fishing till I have to go,
no luck after that......sign.....
it is one of those "epic" day that you want to talk about and don't really want to talk about at the same time....:Cool:
