played hookie today since it was my birthday. i figured the fish gods would bring me a gift. no such luck for me, however i did see nice fish landed. on the way out i passed a fellow yaker who had one on deck in the 20 pound class. i saw another yaker land one in the 10 - 15 pound range on a blue and white iron. he had his pole in the pole holder, with the iron on the bottom, when he got hit. i guess the movement of the boat was giving the iron enough play. a power boater i was fishing along side of, hauled up a nice 25 - 30 pound fish.
i had put in about 6 hrs. by then, so i headed in when i passed a large gray whale putt'n around. it was a beautiful animal. when i landed i went to throw some trash in the can. someone had hacked about 8 pounds of meat off of what looked to be at one time, a 20 pound yt. they are still out guys.

Bummer... That would have been some good eats, or since it was in the trash lobster bait. Was this in La Jolla? There was a couple of YT caught this morning.. Last year I had a whale stroll by close, I thought he was going to tip me. We also saw a whale breach the surface just inside the preserve...It was crazy :shock: ...
Happy Birthday, Mike.
