Double with a 76" - 6/18/15
« on: June 19, 2015, 10:25:00 AM »
Thought I had a winner only to get home and see I'm still a second fiddle ...  :-[ :P ;D ;D

Paul and I ventured back to the same spot in three days. Eels on Tuesday, got a solo soup Wednesday, and conditions looked too damn nice so why not.

First shark came around 9pm. Good fight but on the smaller side.
Get it on the beach and she's gut hooked, hanging stomach out the mouth. Didn't want to mess around so took a quick pick and cut the wire. Taped to 66" ... hope she makes it.  :( :(




Second fish was the nice one. Hit around 10p and put up a pretty good fight.
Paul went to tail grab and could see he was having issues, but was too far away to get a good view.
Tail roped and dragged her up. Really nice size soup. Tripped when Paul called out 76" on the dot. New PB

Pictures never do justice but she was thick and heavy. Tried to pick her up for a shot - she wasn't down with that (neither was my back really)






Didn't get home till 12:30 Ugh ...
Talked about running offshore today ...
Will see if that happens ... LOL

details for the fish
6/18/15 - soup - 66" - female - Center chunk Mackerel - 1-2ft surf - incoming tide - crescent moon
6/18/15 - soup - 76" - female - Center chunk Mackerel - 1-2ft surf - incoming tide - crescent moon


Later guys!
