Holy moly commander, that is a beast of a white sea bass.
I'm glad that you hit one out of the park after 2 strikes.
Binh and I struck out at the Castaic night fishing Saturday night.

Ghost busters!!!
Thanks for bringing over the White Sea Bass filets and squid Art. I couldn't believe how big those WSB steaks were.
We battered and fried up the squid and they were fantastic. You made our family very happy bro.
Mikey is truly Yoda, the force is strong with him. Thanks again for sharing your catch my friend. I'll be camping out at Lake Isabella this weekend, but next weekend, let's take the boat out again.
Wow!!! Those are some big ghosts guys!! Im so curious to see how strong one of those are :D. One day!
Congrats on those catches guys and good luck AGAIN next time :)
Thien
Very impressed with those quality of fish seems like they are on the chew like no other from local water to the channel islands. I think it's time for me to slay away. Thanks for the great report and pics I had to come aboard and reply :)!!
Everyone has said what is in my mind to say...just unbelievable! What an enjoyable report, and a heartwarming sight to see that our increasingly pressured oceans still have such wondrous creatures out there! Thanks very much.
Congrats Arthur on the toad WSB! The one man show is what makes it all the more impressive! If you have the time please post some pics of Iron Chef's handy work on those croaker filets.
Congratulation for your PB Ghost. 52", that is really huge. You got your revenge for sure. And a year stock of fish meat.
Great report as always.
No doubt Mikey is the Fishing Yoda.
Thanks for dropping by the WSB fillets Art, our family will definitely enjoy them.
That is one huge Croaker, congrats my friend, you certainly exact deadly revenge on the Ghost enemy.
I wish i could have seen the look on your face when Mikey handed you that gaff and made you gaff your own fish, priceless.
I will see you next weekend, I can't believe that we're finally going to fish together. It's been over a year.
I got the memo from SWAT Central Command last night, looking forward to seeing everybody at the upcoming Hunting Giants 4 Surf Fishing Event! Long live the spirit of 57.
Yeah Andrew, the wind made the trek back into the harbor interesting, lol.
Intel shows that it's been kinda slow in the surf lately, but I'll make my way back to the suds soon...
Nice catch Sid, nothing like a successful slay session for Father & Son. Good times!
I still gotta get you out on the S.W.A.T. Assault Vessel one of these days bro. We just need to drug you up big time first, lol
Salmon!!! I said it loud enough so you could hear Bill, lol.
When I pulled up Sunday morning and you looked at me, I saw the glazed look in your eyes... took you a few seconds to realize that it was me.
Let's wish our S.W.A.T. kayak crew luck up there this weekend.
Thanks Dan... revenge is SWEET!
As for how the Iron Chef prepared the bounty, there wasn't much of a bounty left after we took care of some friends and family. We had one nice filet left for us...
I was in the mood for simple fish tacos so that's what I got. The fresh fried Calamari was delicious, I'll post up some pics later.
Hope you've had some good luck in the surf lately my friend.
Thank Rithy.
Thanks Jonathan, the word is that the Squid seiners came in last night and took a few tons... Hopefully, they will still be there for you guy tomorrow, good luck bro. Keep me update!
Yeah Don, when I lost the first two in quick succession, I was like here we go, getting smoked again...
Felt good to finally put one of these brutes on the deck.
I got those WSB stones sitting on the desk in my office.
Vince, I heard about the tough fishing out at Lake Santonio. No fish and a broken down boat.
At least family time was good and everybody made it home safely.
Lol, we go to Westminster maybe once every couple of month Terry. Will definitely give you a call when we're in the area.
As for the meal, there was just enough for a meal left over after we took care of friends and family. We had one nice filet left for us...

Enjoy the weekend with the wife & daughter my friend.
Mikey, one down and one to go to complete my 40/40 goal. I wanted a 40 lbs WSB and a 40 lbs Halibut.
You know I got such a kick catching all those Squid on the sabiki, i could have done that all day.
Thanks again for thinking of me and making that call Saturday night. Your thoughtfulness is only one of the many qualities that you have in common with the Godfather 57 and is why I look up to you.
Until the next monster we put on the deck... God speed.
When Mikey handed me that gaff, my heart skipped a beat, lol But I know why he did it. Mikey is always teaching us and wanting us to experience new things, especially in the heat of the moment. So we will be ready for anything for anything. Just like a Eagle who pushes his young out of the nest for the first flight, right Bill?
Thanks Ramiro, your WSB was a beauty too buddy.
Yeah brother Jerry, a little redemption for us all.
Thanks for the fish ID, we caught some really cool species out there.
Hope to fish with you again soon my friend.
Thanks Frank, felt good to put down a high ranking enemy officer.
Knife...? That's a machete, lol
Glad you guys enjoyed it bro, good times indeed.
I'm glad that I connected with one at least. I would have been totally bummed if I had missed all three.
Yeah, I heard that the night event at Castaic didn't pan out too well... maybe next time.
No problem brother Binh. I'm glad that you guys enjoyed the feast.
Good luck at Lake Isabella this weekend, lots of Crappies there.
Thanks Thien, I'm sure you will experience a monster WSB one of these days.
Hope you're finding some time to hit the surf now & then...
Wow, Lucas came out from hiding to reply to my thread. I heard that you've been killing it out there on your new kayak lately in MDR. S.W.A.T. knows everything...
Come out and fish with us soon Pirate!
Thank you Frank, I hope you will get the chance to tangle with one of these monsters someday.
Thank man...
I'll post up some food pics later, but we all know what fish tacos looks like.
I actually enjoyed the fried Calamari the most.
Thanks Albert. After I took care of a few family & friends, I had enough for a decent meal.
Hope to see you out there sometime soon.
Mikey is da Man! Hope you guys enjoyed the fish Phuong.
I probably had a shocked expression on my face when mikey handed me that gaff, lol It all happened so quickly... glad everything worked out.
Yes, hopefully everything goes as planned and we can fish together next weekend, finally!
