Thanks guys! yes it was very exciting fight. Typical hit. Huge head shakes didnt pop the pin. I had to. Soon as the fish felt me pulling he went the other way. He went straight to the beach in the kelp. I thought it was a seal. But then it started thrashing on the surface was like wow.saw the tail. People walking along the beach trail were all cheering/watching. Couple dudes in kayaks stayed to watch the fight. He did a couple awesome runs. THen went deep and sulked on the bottom beneath the boat. I had a heck of time coaxing him to the net. The damn leader btw, the flasher and teaser was too long. Was a real stretch to net him. Took about 30min. And thank god the seals did not interfere. I would have jumped in with my gaff and come home with a seal skin boots if it had.
If this is any indication of what is to come....sharpen them hooks, check those leaders boys and get out there!
