[makobob]

Saw a WSB landed on the 1st and second of Janurary. Story to follow.

[Chuck D]

Ok, why not get this contest rolling and be the king at least for a couple days or so.

40lbs even (no good shot of scale, but can confirm weight with Mako Bob)

46in

Baja

[Subarualmen]

Do you keep the pearls behind the gillplates?

[Chuck D]

First one kept the skull otoliith intact, second one removed the stones (got a 30lb. sea bass as well). Thanks Bob for taking care of the dirty business:)

[Deamon]

That's one skinny WSB...surprised you kept that one. Just kidding! Good job ChuckieD! Tony said you were providing the lobster for all at the next Irvine Lake camping trip. THANKS BROTHA! Jim

Whatever Jim, here is a better angle for you, damn go pros always make them look weird. As for the lobster for the upcoming camping trip your right man, I totally wanted to provide lobster for everyone but I keep waiting on this local guy to take me out and show me his honey hole that everyone else knows about, hasn't called, yet. I'll let you know if he gives me a ring before the trip:o

[makobob]

I love to see those GONZAGA Bay area WSB, yes they are MEAN and LEAN!!
BUT you catch them in paradise. A 4 day weeekend gives you 2 1/2 days fishing. In season San Quintin can be great too. Get your buddies together and Go for it.

Here is my submission:

Caught in Gonzaga Bay, Baja Mexico on 3-22-2015
Total length 57" Measured with 40" tape on the beach
Weight taken with Rapala digital scale 50.15 pounds
Wasn't able to hold fish up and take photo of scale/weight at the same time.

I attached a photo of tape measure on the rear on my kayak where the photo of the fish was taken to get scale. Hope this will do.

Let me know if it qualifies for the WCW WSB King

[TJones]

:wsb:

[makobob]

That's getting habit forming DAWG!!!! Congrtulations on another PB from Baja? Keep up the good karma. See you tomorrow at Heroes on the Water.

[WCW Moderator]

Allowed..........unless contested. :D


In addition, for each fish submitted, the weight needs to be supported by photo of the fish on a measuring tape showing its total length in inches. The fish must be weighed on an accurate scale. Reported fish weight will be compared to length to verify accuracy.

[Iceman]

Caught in the merry month of May in 55 feet of 64 degree water on a greenback mackerel 65 spectra rigged to a 3 way swivel and 40# mono 3 oz torpedo and 2/0 live bait hook. Launched at 5 am and got bit at 10:30am. Crazy run had me wondering shark as I had been bit off earlier. Finally above the fish and the big broom tail had me wondering if that was a bat rays wings I was feeling. spectra definitely amplifies everything. At deep color I thought shark for a split second then "Holy $#!+" don't F this up Andrew! easy seabass gaff at the surface and tricky hoist into the kayak, pedals inopperable had to paddle in. Weighed 54.7 pounds and measured 54 inches. This is my 3rd WSB over 50 pounds and my second biggest in 17 years of kayak fishing. Very Stoked! Had some greatly appreciated help in looking for this fish. Thank you! Now hopefully some pot holing wanker does not steal the crown :D

Let me be the first to congratulate you on that awesome catch.
The crown is yours. "for now"

It must of been an oversight but you didn't mention where you were.:)

[Bert Vega]

Great job Andy. Super stoked for you. It's a beast!!!

[bellcon]

some pot holing wanker :D

Hey I resemble that remark :the_finger:


Congrats on a beauty King Andy!

[FISH11]

WOW, what a monster Andy. Congrats

[makobob]

AWESOME fish Andy, Heard about another MONSTER swimming around San Quintin.

[monstahfish]

Heard a new king was about to be crowned but I thought I would take it over for a few minutes. Didn't enter this when I caught it cause it didn't occur to me... I'm still new here I guess. Tale of the tape and scale 50" 55 pounds even, LJ in february.

Sounds like to me you were try'n to be a WCW sniper!

Nice fish though:luxhello:

[Andy]

58.6lbs, 59 inches. Thought it was a hali when it first bit, then thought it was a black the way it was fighting, just towing me around with no big runs. Halfway into the fight I got the big headshakes had me excited for the right kind. At gaff had to do a double take to make sure it wasn't a black since it looked giant. Big tournament fish gets the heart racing!

Spent over an hour looking Google some bullshit about buying them from the online store....

CHEATING I SEE YOUR TAPE MEASURE HANGING OFF YOUR TAILGATE 3 INS

[YakDout]

He only measured to 59..

[MITCHELL]

Bullshit look at the other end

[YakDout]

The end that is hanging off the tailgate is past 59"..


Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

[DanaPT]

Yeah I also see the start of the tape hanging off the truck near the tail. I see the head at 59 but no deduction for the other end's off measure .

Mitchell you caught a nice fish. Be stoked. I'm betting bigger fish were caught and not posted. Thus those guys didn't win either. Why make a scene? Do you want a refund?

[YakDout]

Bullshit look at the other end


I apologize, I see your picture now. The tapatalk app was not showing me the full tape shot, just the head shot of the fish. Opened the post on computer and I see what you mean.

Mitchell I just re read you post on yorlur 60lb claim. You have no scale or tape... just words. I see nothing wrong with the judging. You caught a nice fish.. record probably not... a good fish tho.



Under a blood moon lunar eclipse Did not get an accurate weight : (
Cut it up to weigh it.....wish I would have taken it to the Marlin club or OEX for official weight unprepared and had to workX
It was 57ins long tail was 11ins wide did not measures girthX
Over 60lbs with blood loss .....because a fish is longer doesn't mean it'

[dillpick]

looks like 56-57inch. That is a beast of a fish:cheers1:

[WCW Moderator]

perspective, the tape is sticking up as it is over the fillet knife.

Calling the winner a cheater will get my vote for banning you from this forum!


You never followed the very simple rules of submitting your fish

Each angler’s submission must be accompanied by one photo of the angler with the fish, preferably on the kayak.

In addition, for each fish submitted, the weight needs to be supported by photo of the fish on a measuring tape showing its total length in inches. The fish must be weighed on an accurate scale. Reported fish weight will be compared to length to verify accuracy. As an alternative, the angler may submit the fish with weight obtained from the certified fish weigh-in station - certified weigh-in stations (Dana Landing, Fisherman's Landing, possibly your local tackle shop with certified scale). When submitting a fish with weight obtained from a certified scale, no tape shot picture is required. The weigh master should give you documentation, or just snap a photo of the weight showing on the scale.

A quick lesson in perspective to ANYONE questioning this tape shot

The pen and the tape measure have not been moved in these 2 photos, the only thing that changed was the position of the camera angle...........carry on.

Who is this kook calling Andy a cheater?
Ban his silly ass


The shit some people are willing to say behind a keyboard...:pcguru:

[ful-rac]

Not that it matters at this point anyways....but I was there when andy caught his fish, and I personally weighed it. It also got weighed at the tournament....so unfortunately for Mitchell...andy wasn't LYING!!!!

Not this time anyways...

At the JAL tournament, I challenged Andy to arm wrestle in order to prove if he cheated. I lost. My arm will never be the same. On to 2016 WCW! Jim
