I was using live mackerel, targeting halibut.

Closer to point Loma. Long haul there and back, and uphill against the tide both ways in the bay. Glad I have an Outback, and hope the mirage drive doesn't break. I don't know if I could paddle that far, especially after fighting that fish.

you may want to keep a wrench and extras a dry bag. Hobie makes a killer product, but stuff breaks over time, so far: 1 drive chain and 1 mast while on the water. Replaced the drive chain OTW. Had to limp in on the broken fin while hooping and that was no big deal.

Awesome catch thanks for sharing! There are monsters other places than LJ that's for sure!

30# maybe?

I caught an estimated 150# BSB @ LJ once. I could have put my head in it's mouth. (I have a big head, so I've been told. lol)
