After months of weekly fishing in LJ it finally pays off. I was pretty much in shock when I got this baby on the boat. I think my friend said my lip was shaking. It had been way to long without a good fight or bite.

I had been trying to catch a rock fish all day. I had finally given up, and was trying for something bigger. I ended up hooking up within 5 minutes. Luck and maybe some skill.. I was under some pressure since my friend caught a nice thresher that morning. both were released.


just kidding, kept the wsb.

46 lbs.. oh and sorry a bit late. caught 3/23/2011 10 am.

That thing is a pig!!! You are such a badass sharon! I especially love the dangling mack. Bet your friend who caught the thresher was just as excited for you! ;-)

Pete no love this morning? Good to see you out there... I guess T-sharks are better than nothing. Epic conditions.

... sorry a bit late. caught 3/23/2011....

Congratulations, Sharon. No need to apologize for the late post. I remember that day very well. I was sitting in a meeting thinking about the beautiful weather, and wishing I would be on my kayak. Your post gives me the motivation I need to stop wishing and just go fishing.

i think I was more stoked for you guys on the beach than you were, was wondering when this picture was going to surface. That thing was a beast..

Hey Chris, good to see you. No love today. Unlike Sharon, all I got to pull on was a thresher. I figure its just gets me in shape for my 1st WSB this season.

Those pics are great! That fish really helps. Yeah, the mac in the background is great. Hard to believe you are sitting in the ocean.

Who needs fishfinder , GPS , mirage drive etc...

I have all of those, and can't catch WSB this big !

Congratulation ! :luxhello:

Looks like you had a better day than the one a couple weeks ago when I met you and Steve. I guess I'll have to visit you sometime soon. Nice fish.

Ha ha. the picture is deceiving. I didnt catch the fish with the mac! maybe a relative of him...

next time make sure you take your picture while sitting sideways on your kayak. Otherwise people might start to think you caught that fish on your own :D

beautiful fish btw... inspiration to say the least

Honestly, I could care less about the White Sea Bass (nice fish, though).

Now, a hot-chic who launches in the dark to catch big-fish is another story. If it's the last thing I do, I really want to catch one of those! :eek:
