La Jolla Ling, maybe!

[FISH11]

Thanks for the replies. I wondered maybe Hali or Ling. I have caught and released several sharks and you can tell from my abatar I had a Mako 2 feet from my kayak. I had the pull and the sounding with the sharks, but it seems like they also don't put much of a fight at first than pull like hell. I figured it swallowed the weight because they were gone and the line cut close to the wheighs, provably something with gnarly teeth. Like Jeff said "it's La Jolla and you never know". It's like every other trip has a new learning experience.

My guess would be 70lb WSB ate your weight... better luck next time(:

What did the line look like where it broke. Was it covered in abrasions like sand paper was rubbed on it? Was it a clean cut? Was the end all split up in stringy?

Could have been a mossback ate your rockfish then dove into the rocks where your weight became snagged and broke off.

HA HA HA, thanks just what I wanted to hear. The line wasn't roughed up or shredded a little curled like from streching. I don't think it got caught in the rocks because it happened while it was still pulling drag that was set quite firm, it had the rod pinned against the yak and I was just starting to be able to pull back when it let go. Than again I thought it was pulling quite hard for it to be only the 20 lb line to the weights. The 50 lb line to the hook was just fine.
