Same story... lots of bait, but difficult to make. Around 12:30 was heading in with a flylined spanish mack, fishing 65 spectra to 100 yards of 30lb mono to 6 ft of 30lb floro. I've been having great results with this set up. Knowing mono is not the way to go, I tried to stay out of the kelp but on the way back got picked up near the kelp in 100ft of water. Got stuck in the kelp a little bit but managed to get the fish out somehow... 18lbs on my home scale. Middle brother was absent, so big bro helped with gaffing the fish. There is a word for the gaff scene in the video, "cluster f....".
