Rick's sub

[baja709]

Caught this trophy on Wednesday, weighed on OEX certified scale in Pt. Loma at 52# even. Tapered out at 49 1/2", no tape shot, but I guess a certified weight will be just fine.

Congrats on a super catch.

[driftwood]

and was feeling sorry for you cause you skunked on tuesday? I cant believe a Y.T. that GRANDE was fished out of la jolla! And on 25 pound line to boot. Couldn't happen to a nicer humble guy.

[aguachico]

Congrats Rick. That thing looks like it could eat 10# of squid in 5 minutes.

Rick, you are now in an elite club that few others can boast about. You almost doubled the points for a typical yellowtail with that great catch. Way to hang in there on Wednesday. :notworthy:

[gary sullivan]

Rick, looks like you caught the heavier twin to my 49 incher. That'll provide for some good eats. It couldn't be easy out there on a holiday weekend. :reeling::wsb:

[dos ballenas]

yummy :notworthy:

[driftwood]

Hey rick... I just knew you were going hook one up before the season ended. I sure wish I was the one who took that picture. All your efforts have paid off. Those WSB fillets are gonna taste good with your home grown tomatoes and veggies. Good job Rick!!
