That is a killer shot there! Did you land that one or did it get away? Sometimes I get smaller model bats with the attitude of a much bigger one and vice-versa.
I did not land it
I didn't even see it!
It could very well have been a pissed off 30" on roids LOL.
When my rod doubled over and I set the hook I thought it was snagged since nothing happened and it didn't move. I Walked up and down the beach to free it to no avail. So I let the line go slack to see if the surf could possibly unsnag it. After about 5 seconds something took off on a blistering run toward the channel islands! I kept tightening the drag but it pulled probably 200 yards off easy before it stopped and headed south. I tightened the drag until my feet were sliding across the sand
I gained some line and lost some line for about 10 minutes, then it got into some structure and busted me off
When I reeled all the line back in, the last 15 feet or so were pretty shredded.
Can't wait to do it again!!
