Dana 5-9 - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Steve,

I was down by Dana (Capo reefs) a few days before you (Tues.,5/5) and also got a mystery bendo! on live bait. Reef/kelp habitat in 15-18'. It ran higher in the water column then shark or hali and gave me quite a sleigh ride- Great speed and power as he took off to the right and then quickly shifted left. Finally spun my yak 180* and then ran past my stern to bend my rod over my shoulder before snapping my (25#) line. Too fast to be a shark/ray - suspect it was a just legal wsb (or bsb?). We are catching alot of smaller (1 1/2 - 2') wsb in harbor and Doheny lately- could there be some bigger models hooking up with Steve and me? Any feed back or opinions welcomed!
Wayne
