RockFishin' - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Finally got a chance to get out and find some Rockfish. Between the storms and the Fred Hall Show I was kept off the water until yesterday.
I badly needed my Aqua-Therapy...2 fish each drop and I was done pretty quickly so I decided to hit one of the local wrecks for a big kicker fish to top off the limit.
I had a great hookup but it took me into the structure and I slacked the line and changed directions a few times until I got the beast to swim out.
I thought I had a big Ling as it was really heavy and fought all the way to the surface...
It was about 4 feet long and Pissed-Off, with teeth snapping.
My diver friend called it a Wolf Eel.
Fun day with some great eats...cooked the Rockfish with Macadamia nuts and Panko and a Mango-Avacado salsa...YUM!
