  • Early summer day in 2019 searching for halibut and I stumble across one of the most elusive fish around. The second WSB of my life made me a pretty happy dude.

      My grandfather said something about fishing that is completely true. A bad day of fishing is still better than a good day at work. Fishing is just so relaxing and when you get something big like that it's such a rush. I still remember the first time I ever went fishing I caught like 20 fish my grandfather would no sooner get the line back in the water and I was pulling up another one. We had a cooler full before noon

Right after you made this on MAY 13th a dude named Brian Beam out of Dana Point hooked his first WSB and was a 80llber that towed him for over one and and a half miles and he stopped it on a sardine with a #2 ultra point Mustad hook. The 80 holds the kayak record but this is still one hack of a nice bass, great job!!!
