Thanks man...I still can't believe it. I fished for stiper from Pacifica beaches for a freaking year and got nothing. This is probably the biggest fish I will ever catch.

BTW Scott and Swampy get the props for getting the fish released healthy. I was so out of it after the catch, photots, etc that I did not properly care for the fish on release. When I put it back in the water it flared its gills and I thought it was OK. Scott and the Swamp-meister saw it was in distress and took care of the fish. You guys totally rock!
