The Ultimate Yardsale - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

I dove it around 7am, but the damn SUP'ers were right in the main yardsale zone. Might give it another shot tomorrow. My 9yr old boy has some chronic health issues too, it's a tough road for sure, hang in there.

I didn't put two and two together with your lack of vision at the time (read delerious after being on the water all day). I should have used your flashlight after you had already scanned the area. It's tough to see rods in the surf at night, but one thing I'm blessed with is good vision. That's an expensive trip with your whole set-up and prescription glasses ta' boot, ouch

.

On the other hand, that's a legit trophy my friend. I can vouch for that fish, the pictures do no justice. The girth was impressive. A giant head and tail, with a body to match.

They all look large with the vertical beach shot, even the little thirty pounders. She was over fifty-five, though...without a doubt.

Thanks for all your help Josh.I am glad you made the point to get some good pictures.I was in a real stupor at the point I met you,probably looked like a total basket case.I most likely will never catch another seabass this size.The wife ran off for fish taco stuff.I cant wait to try some WSB fish tacos and a brew.

I will be back on the water soon.I am hoping my Kayak YT cherry popper will be a glory fish too...
