LJ today - 7/3 - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

I was trolling a big honkin Spanish Mack. The yellow grabbed it in the middle and ran, but never ate the head. As I put drag on slowly, it felt like I was on...until the fish let go! This is one case where I should have let him eat on it and take a nap before I put the drag in gear.

Bigger bait = bigger fish? I get it but no, use smaller bait so you hook gets eaten.
