WOW. that fifty+ is intense. I'd just hang it up and go to Bells Beach and wait for the 50 year storm

Even pickier today (Thursday) 10% hookup for a zillion guys. If you could get the squid past the macs you had a shot. Crowd worked well together and everyone was cool.

My boys go to school right around the corner from Blue Water Tackle, so I usually cruise by to bug 'em if I have a few minutes to kill before I pick them up. So I went in yesterday and Roosta shows me that beast... I pretty much shat myself. Beautiful fish. Sometimes you get lucky and catch a beast right away in your younger years. Sometimes it takes eons. But one day, if you fish long enough, something like this comes along. Savor the moment - that thing is epic

If I catch one like that I'm gonna Gyotaku it for sure... then you can remember forever!

Holy Hell!

Is there really any question for post of the month?

Nice fish!

It was Rick's Fish, so it should be Rick's choice to make the Post and tell the story if He chooses.

Its His Thunder man.

I don't post pictures of other peoples fish, because its their story, and their moment.

Great pic of the squib boats and yakkers w high five.

Great pics of Rick and his fish too - I am very sad that I can't look at that thing again.

But very true - Rick's story. I don't know him, but big time congrats on that beaut of a tail!

You'd have to tie me to prevent me from bragging with that sort of catch.

Rick, if you are there- throw us a pic of two, we'd love to drool on that thing... I'm "paying" you back with a short but sweet 10 secs video of you being towed by that monster right by my boat... at pretty funny speed.

Congrats again!

Just to clarify things, Yes that is me high fiven rick. I dint even know someone took a picture of us.(what a great shot!!!) He man handled that beast on 25 pound line. Rick and i landed back at the same time and later i was told it weighted 52 pounds. I segested to rick to drive to OEX and have it officially weighted because that may be the biggest Y.t. ever caught in a kayak. Can anyone confirm if rick ever did show up at OEX yesterday?
