Soaked a mack head for a solid hour before changing baits. I tossed the head into the water, it was pristine. Was hoping a big'ol center chunk would illicit a bite. That one also soaked for an hour for naught. Was texting back and forth with Chris throughout the night and let him know I was done and ready to head home. Tossed out the last section from the mack and turned my back to start packing up my gear. Within 10mins of the soak, I get a 7gill style bite. I ignored it as I was getting those all night, but they weren't true bites, just the surf and current acting super turbulent and confused. Picked up my rod to reel in the slack and I see big splash in the distance. My line comes tight and it's game on! Several hard runs going north and south let me know it was a soupfin. It has been so long since I've had one on, I forgot how fun they are. Surf and the surge was up, so it actually helped me land it as a big wave rushed in and pushed it up onto dry land. Took a couple quick pictures and pulled the hook. She swam off strong. Hung out until 1am for nothing else. Almost fell asleep on the beach in my comfy beach chair I recently found.

I was starting to think you didn't actually catch one! Well done Mike! I should have hit this surf window, but now it's too late. Things just got nasty out there.
Congrats Mr 31!

Good for you Mike, your patience paid off 8)

Idk what you guys are talking about, bad conditions... they’re still chewing.

Congrats Mike! I knew you would get one while I was gone.;) I'm on spring break next week so I hope to wet a line. Saw a Blue Footed Bobbie today.

That’s for sure. Doesn’t even matter what color the feet are.
