I understand Freediver's sentiment. You guys have to know that there are lots of freedivers that lurk on this website to see what you kayak fishermen are saying. I know freedivers as far as LA and the SF Bay Area are using this website to keep tabs on LJ and when the WSB start showing on your reports. Which is why I PM'd Larry with my questions, but guess he didn't see it.

So freediver, did you go out on a boat or from shore? How deep were you when you saw the fish? PM me if you'd like.

I was on my kayak, a blue P13. I actually planned on diving the kelp around the point, but moved along further south. I was in about 50 -60 feet of water. I tied up to some kelp that was standing straight up. Lots of jumbo macks in the area. I saw a total of three fish, first one was a big. Really big. I was already in the water pulling the kayak to a better mat of kelp and was looking down and saw it.No chance for a shot. It was about 10 ft down with a male. I tied up again and on the first dive I saw a female at about 20 ft(depth) to the left. Missed the shot. Went back up, loaded again. Dove two more times and saw her again about 15 yards where I missed her, I'm certain it was the same fish. Couldn't get lined up and she spooked.
