If anybody is interested I took the boy to manhattan beach
for the grunion run and they were out in full force on the
north side of the pier. in between chaseing little fish around
in the mud I tossed out a chunk of fresh squid on the surf rod
and it was'nt ten minutes later and bendo.

This thing almost spooled me twice and ran me about two
hundred yards down the beach, pretty fun in the dark not
knowing whats on the other end. Im guessing around 30 lb's


Then Ben caught a beefy croaker
