Normally cormorants are just a pain in the ass. I think that one must have been Santa's little helper.

Nice fish!!

Nice fish Andy! Some good eats for the holidays.

Great detail in the shot by Stevooo -- what camera are you using?

Andy, every time I see a pic of you holding a nice fish, you remind me of my dad(hes been gone 12 yrs. now) he was a great outdoors man, always hunting and fishing for sport but with the intent of catching or shooting dinner for the family. The look on your face says it all. NICE FEEESH !
Merry Christmas and have a happy new year to all on BWE.

Good fishing with ya. Here's you starting the sleigh ride right after the hook up

And here's a bit of Christmas joy...

All you can really ask from La Jolla is that she gives you a chance. About 20 min after Andy hooked up, I had mine. Hooked up on a spanish mid column, right in the same area as Andy. Gnarly fight which kept me pinned sideways, and I never really could get up and down on it. There was a lobster trap nearby that the fish saw and started heading towards. I buttoned down the drag so the fish couldn't get another inch, and not long after that the hook pulls. Only needed about 10 or 15 more cranks on it too. Felt like a bruiser YT, but I suppose I can call it whatever I want since I didn't get it in

. Had one other bump and run on a greenback on the bottom, but was never able to set the hook on that one. That mac came up with telltale WSB marks.

I'm definitely going to try to sneak in one more trip to the jewel to get the most out of my 2014 license.

Nice dude! I need to learn how to use my FF better, I know I'm missing good sign and don't know it.
