I'm too smashed to go into all the details but let me tell ya all that for me...this was a breakout day in the surf. I started around 11:00 a.m. and grubed until 2:30 p.m. Caught over 20 BSP but the payoff was a brut that measured just over 15" and was realy fat! Must have been close to 3lbs! No swollen uterus so I don't think it was a female.

Spent some drag and at first I thought I was playing with either a Ray or a nice sized Corbina. When I realized what it was, I got really nervous because I could see that it was hooked by a prayer!

Shore break gave me a break and I beached him.

No camera shot but believe me, (King Neptune curses liars about the size of fish) this babe made my day!
