April Seabass

[blackcloud9]

Sunny day with beautiful conditions. Mackerel and sardines were feeding
in 40-50 feet of water on the way out, so I decided to give the WSB a
try today.

Eventually I saw a few tanker cruisers in the clear water, and a even huge
yellowtail checking out my offering as well.

Finally one managed to eat the wrong lunch ...

Nice job!!:luxhello:
But the gaff in the first pic looks to be in a dangerous location.

[Deamon]

Really beautiful feesh. Great job!

[YakMedic]

Strong work on the WSB!

I didn't even notice the gaff until old rookie pointed it out. Be careful with that thing.

[walrus]

Congrats, nice looking fish.

[blackcloud9]

... amid the confusion, I gaffed myself in the a$$ and STILL got the fish! :luxhello:

Actually, that didn't happen. The gaff is well buried inside the fish, and,
pointing away from me but I admit that I am very hesitant to remove the
gaff, ever!

Do not try this at home - gaffs, well they are sharp!

[deepdvr]

Nice biscuit Larry!

[kck250]

I want one of those. Not the gaff in the ass.:linesnap:

Excellent fish Larry! Seems like all the cbass lately have big fat bellies from a ridiculous squid filled winter... or somethin. Stoked for you man! Good eats.

As they say, proof's in the pudding; looks like you knew what you were talking about after all. :wsb:

[BigWaterOmeez]

Awesome pics! :cheers1:

[blackcloud9]

Josh, glad that tip worked OK for you ( ... and friends). YOU have been
more than helpful with information in the past when it counts and I
appreciate it.

Well maybe I know what I'm talking about but hey I also got a low-
resolution slideshow that turned out kinda cool, especially since this one
practically JUMPED. I'm considering posting the video too.
