Scoring Redemption on a PB. + New species. 8/26

[surffishingsean]

So last saturday some mysterious creature owned my LC hook and broke it off.

Started off as a decent day with a queenfish, few calicos and cuda, along with a lone croaker. After catching the queenfish and thought to myself. I've heard WSB love queenfish.

Today i get score redemption. I get slammed halfway through my cast. I can't remember what retrieve i was using as it happened so fast but i'm pretty sure it was medium/slow- 1.5-2' fast pull-pause-slow. It goes on a crazy run and i thought it was a Huge Halibut but i was feeling a bit puzzled. It ran about 100' out then a ways to the right.

The prize!

Releasing the precious beast and thanking it for blessing me with an exhilarating thrill that i will never get old of. I was so stoked to be holding what i've been after for awhile. Now i'm readying for an even bigger one!

Who knew what i was in for. got a few small halibut and bounced around a bit searching for clean water. None to be found. Switch it up and Bang! Crazy calico fenzy with good quality. i did miss a few nice ones and lost 2. Can't get em all.

This swimbait quickly got destroyed.

It was truely an awesome day of fishing. To top it off I thought i lost my wallet at the beginning of the day. I scrambled looking everywhere for it. But had overlooked one small crevice in the car. and said screw it i'll just fish and deal with it later. Get back in the car and look again, Found it.

I'm so grateful for what the surf has been throwing at me. I FKN LOVE THIS ****! Stay positive and blessings to everyone!

Very cool report and catch Sean. Congrats on that PB ghost! My guess is it's just shy of legal. Anything much bigger and you'd be telling us the story on how bad your thumb got raked. :LOL::Wink: Keep up the hot streak.
