6/6 LJ Sea Monster? - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Nekton · 06-09-2009, 03:24 PM

I was freediving and hunting off Pt. La Jolla and I saw some mono trailing across under the surface going into the Reserve. I grabbed it with my gloved hand and it towed me about 30 yds, moving so fast I was leaving a wake. I had to decide whether or not I wanted to get towed into the Reserve and fight the fish or try to turn it because I was getting really close to the border.

I put on the brakes and the fish/sea lion/black seabass/monster just kept going straight and the line cut through my padded glove. I was just about going to give it a wrap around my speargun but the bitter end pulled through my hand and that was it. My hand didn't get sliced but my dive glove on my right hand was shredded. My guess, is that it was a bsb but I'll always wonder if it was a monster yt or wsb.

8 hours swinging in the current

Don't know where the drawing came from, but I bet it's right.

That happened to the Fishcatcher one time, didn't have the heart to tell him...then he pulled out a 21" Calico...
