WSB 11/29/14
 
Lucky local bite on fin-bait...

50lbs...

When I first hit the water in the AM, Tony calls out on the radio, "Roby, I hope you land a black seabass, so I can see it whoop your ass." At about 8:30 AM, my bottom rig goes bendo. At first, it felt like a big, big halibut with the occasional headshake. Eventually, it started taking line out and it just seemed like I couldn't stop it - I thought for sure it was a black. I figured Tony was right about his prediction for the morning. Half way through the fight I was going to try and break it off because I couldn't gain any line, and at this point, I thought it was a shark. I could feel the line rubbing against the fish, and just thought it was the shark's skin. When it got to color, I was one happy camper. I missed the gaff shot on the first try. Then the WSB went under the kayak and my line almost tangled up with my mirage drive. Finally though, I nailed it and got it secured.

Sometimes it's better to be lucky than good....

Nice WSB!

Nice fish Robby, looks like a toad. I too am guilty of thumbing fish when i think they are sharks/rays. Almost threw away a big halibut few years back during our OEX bass tournament.

Seems I might have to get out there before I leave. 13+ years of kayak fishing and I still havnt got my WSB form the yak and time is running out, not a lot of those things in the NW.

Super catch Roby! That thing is a horse. It make your outback look like it was going to roll if you lifted it up any higher. Really nice catch with how the bite has slowed lately. Congrats!

radastaff 11-30-2014 04:06 PM

congrats
I struck out at LJ fri

Deamon 11-30-2014 04:10 PM

Dude, that is one BIG...foot. Your pic would've been a lot better without it in the shot. At least cover it up next time. I'M JUST TRYING TO HELP! :the_finger:

ol'skool 11-30-2014 04:14 PM

...and THAT"S why I keep dragging my ass out of bed at zero dark thirty; you experts give this novice hope...a "what dreams are made of" fish in my book! Well done!:cheers1:

FlyFishinYakr 11-30-2014 04:15 PM

Holy Crap! That thing's a Pig! :eek:
Congrats, it's a good thing you didn't break it off. :)

Aznronin 11-30-2014 04:17 PM

That's a fish worth posting about! Great catch!

ceviche eater 11-30-2014 04:51 PM

awesome!

StinkyMatt 11-30-2014 04:57 PM

Great fish. :D

I do not believe that it took only TWO gaff attempts.....I fished with you and I'd say it took 4-5 shots at least.




Did Tony catch any fish or does he just "canoe" lately?

kobra 11-30-2014 06:30 PM

Hell yeah!!! Awesome toad Roberto. :luxhello:
