Been busy with work and such to report my trip on my day off on wednesday the 18nth :)
I got to my area of operations at 7am and started fishing by 7:15am. A little cloudy, cloudy water(but blue past the surf), slight wind, and a day full of promise!(mainly a day of relaxation...those 10 hr shifts are murder T_T, I needed to do something to unwind from it all)

I began working my way from the northern part of the beach an started going south by tossing the lucky craft in the blue past the surf. After 2.5 hours....nothing! I got 1 nibble that got me excited for a second but that dissipated when whatever bit didn't come back.
Eventually I hit the last spot my brother caught some short hali and saw that the water was surprisingly clear in that spot! I threw the lucky close to the rocks and as I was reeling in WAM I got hit with something. I fought whatever was on the end of my rod tip for a few seconds but soon noticed....it was either SUPER heavy or I got a snag. After a few tugs....I got a snag. I had a suspicion that whatever was on my rod...was still there so I let out some line, waited and reeled in. I rinsed and repeated this process hoping to GOD it would come loose. After the 4rth attempt, I slowly reeled in and felt it run and started reeling in as fast as possible before it could get back in a hole.
It wasnt a big perch, a halibut or even a rock fish. It was a....
