Nearly a skunking, but if you are gonna get one.....
« on: June 08, 2017, 04:50:14 PM »
Went out loaded for bear and had an alarm going off on the boat. Stayed near to shore and called Sunset Marine. Checked a few things and it stopped. May be a bad speaker. Needs further investigation

So landed 3 skimpy little macs. Headed out into the ocean but stayed close due to the alarm. Got bupkis for hours then rod on the bottom rig bent hard. Got my ass whupped for the next 15 + minutes by a 6 foot soupfin.

Right on Jim!   8)
I bet that was fun from the boat!
Hope the gremlins go away and it's nothing serious.

Right in Jim! Seriously, the soupies fight even harder from the boat! (Especially without steel leader)

Well done boss, well done...

Gotta give credit to the pre made rock cod rigs at Wal Mart. 60 lb test and that held up to this battle. Thankfully the circle hook did it's job and latched in the corner of the mouth.

I was afraid it may have been a BSB. Sucked out half the spool on hookset.

Good thing is it bit on my old Tiger rod/506 set that has never caught anything. Was beginning to think it was a jinx rig.

Well, it does say, "surf shark list," so I'm going out on a limb and saying no. Sorry Jim.

That's why I could never be the  forum lawyer, I can't read.

No worries, still counts as my first soupie and one of the toughest fights.
