long version:
first time on the water in a couple of months. buddy put together a work charter and asked to come along and help out and do a little fishing. fished rockcod in the morning for a slow pick on smallish cods. then fished the kelp and the beaches. super slow on the inside with only a few calico's and a nice halibut on the drift. shaun on the helm see's some birds working up the line and its game on for about 30 minutes. at first i thought they were cuda but someone yelled "seabass!!!" and it was on. first cast on the iron and i got bit about 20 feet from the boat, watched it eat it, tail comes out of the water and everything. unfortunately, i hooked pulled on that one. next cast, 4 cranks and on again. stuck and on the deack 32 lbs on the digi. final count for the boat 9 wsb, 1 halibut and 100+ on the cods. turned out to be a great tirp with lots of guys hooked for life.
