We took the Mako out Tuedsay night to the LB Breakwall for some hooping. I have some experience with hoop netting, but still pretty new to this. This was the very first trip for my buddies. Just as I am explaining that part about we don't always get em, sometimes you go through a lot of shorts to get a leagal one, we pulled up our 4th pot of the night and ther was Big Merve.
10.4 lbs, this thing was a beast!! We had one more legal that went 4lbs . Lots of starfish,crabs, sculpin but that was it for the bugs. Didn't get one spyder crab all night.
We used fresh Mackeral for bait with a little chunk of Gourmet Bait as well....Bluefin Tuna.

That thing scares me. Those legs look like Alaskan King Crab legs.
You needed a just legal bug in the pic to show how big it really was!!!

Congrats on the 2 monster bugs. I think you will need extra butter for those tails! :D Thats cool that you and you buddies were able to get/land a legal. Were you guys fishing the inside or outer part of the wall? Thanks for the report and pics.

I think you will need extra butter for those tails! .

That statement reminds me of the scene with Marlon Brando in, "Last Tango in Paris".
