Launched about 6:00am. Got to the lobster pots and dropped a yoyo( blue/white - glow sumo Jr) first drop and I was "fish on". Brought up a rat yellowtail, then released. Few more casts later on a different pot and was " fish on" again. Same result, rat yellow and released.
Decided to make bait even though the yoyo was working. Trolled for about an hour or so and got bite off.
Decided to stop trolling and throw the yoyo some more. Got about 6 rockfish throughout the day.
About 2o'clock figured I would start heading toward the beach. Fished the kelp for a while with spinnerbaits and what not, no luck. As I was getting clear of the kelp I noticed a bunch of bait fish and couple game fish being active. Dropped the yoyo. When it was at the bottom I marked a nice size fish. As I was thinking damn I wish that guy would hit my jig. He DID, it was "FISH ON" in a major way. Solid hard pull and around 10mins later I pulled up the biggest WSB I have ever seen let alone reel in. Dude was puking and stuff and boated him.
Most epic day I have had to date on artificial lures
Going to do a picture dump, no real order here
