Thought I"d give it a shot last night since conditions seemed to be favorable to see if I could hook into one of the ,so far this year ,ever elusive L.A. batrays. Hard headed as I am, I tried one of the same spots I've came up empty at a few times over the last couple months. It payed off this time as I managed to beach this 52" hard fighting beast.She gave me a good run for my money, taking me up, over and around a couple little finger jetties that jut out on each side of the AO & almost spooled me...twice! Got her on a few fresh caught grunion pinned in a clump on a 10/0 circle, just as the grunion run was starting.The whole time I was in bendo mode there was grunion washing up & doing their thing at my feet.
Ilet my GF hold my rod for a few minutes during the tug of war to give my muscles a short rest. She didn't know quite what to think of this thing that outweghed her beached on the sand...lol
Thanks for reading...
Joe
