Got this last weekend. Second time out this season.

Came in at 39lbs. Injured my back a few days prior. Thought I was good to fish that morning but at after fishing, my back was killing me so I couldn't even hold it away from my body for the "cool" pic. I'm at 80% now and hopefully will be back on the water in a week or two :cheers1:

Got it on a sardine in 65ft of water while towing in another kayak. Different story but I call it the good luck kayak because once I tied into it I got bit on the first drop within seconds.

Calcutta 400
15lb uglystick
2/0 circle hook
30lb flouro leader
4oz torpedo weight

Thanks!

There was a bunch of guys loading up when I got out. Normally I talk to everyone but I just wanted to go home due to back pain. I even asked for a ride to the parking lot to put the fish on ice lol

I didn't even get an official weight. I could have got some free hooks and shirt for the won weekly challenge. Next time...

Nice Hali, Beto. I still haven't gotten one that nice. I guess I should target more fish on the bottom. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks Mark,

I've seen your updates about the conditions at LJ. Looks like you are putting in time otw. :cheers1:

It wouldn't hurt to drag a bait down at the bottom, you never know, the YT might be cruising low due to the high water temp.

Amazing fish.
Hope the back feels better, but a fish like that will help ease the pain!

Congrats Beto!
