I just thought I would give you guys something to read since there hasnt been a post on this board in a few days. My dad and I launched at sunrise and I trolled the Fasttrac around the harbor for bonito but all I caught were a few mackeral. We then bounce balled hoochies(I didnt think my dad would get a bite because he had 50# main line and a 30# leader) towards Palos Verdes and my dads pole started singing. After a few long runs and about 11 minutes(he had his rock cod reel) he brought up a 80-100# thresher! It was the first one he has ever hooked up and the first one I have ever seen. Unfortunately, since it was tail hooked and we were on kayaks, it busted off on the second attempt to subdue it. Wow! A bounce ball thresher! I plan on going after them next time when the fishing is slow. Does anyone have any suggestions on tackle when fishing them?
Thanks,
Tommy
