WSB 11/29/14

Lucky local bite on fin-bait...

50lbs...

When I first hit the water in the AM, Tony calls out on the radio, "Roby, I hope you land a black seabass, so I can see it whoop your ass." At about 8:30 AM, my bottom rig goes bendo. At first, it felt like a big, big halibut with the occasional headshake. Eventually, it started taking line out and it just seemed like I couldn't stop it - I thought for sure it was a black. I figured Tony was right about his prediction for the morning. Half way through the fight I was going to try and break it off because I couldn't gain any line, and at this point, I thought it was a shark. I could feel the line rubbing against the fish, and just thought it was the shark's skin. When it got to color, I was one happy camper. I missed the gaff shot on the first try. Then the WSB went under the kayak and my line almost tangled up with my mirage drive. Finally though, I nailed it and got it secured.

Sometimes it's better to be lucky than good....

[Teambcw]

Nice WSB!

[Siebler]

Nice fish Robby, looks like a toad. I too am guilty of thumbing fish when i think they are sharks/rays. Almost threw away a big halibut few years back during our OEX bass tournament.

Seems I might have to get out there before I leave. 13+ years of kayak fishing and I still havnt got my WSB form the yak and time is running out, not a lot of those things in the NW.

Super catch Roby! That thing is a horse. It make your outback look like it was going to roll if you lifted it up any higher. Really nice catch with how the bite has slowed lately. Congrats!

Dude, that is one BIG...foot. Your pic would've been a lot better without it in the shot. At least cover it up next time. I'M JUST TRYING TO HELP! :the_finger:

That's a fish worth posting about! Great catch!

[ceviche eater]

awesome!

[StinkyMatt]

Great fish. :D

I do not believe that it took only TWO gaff attempts.....I fished with you and I'd say it took 4-5 shots at least.




Did Tony catch any fish or does he just "canoe" lately?

[kobra]

Hell yeah!!! Awesome toad Roberto. :luxhello:

If you don't mind sharing, what rod/reel/line set-up were you using ?
