Right on Drake! Very cool. You must have been surprised to see that come to color.
Any info on how you hooked it?

blitzburgh · 10-01-2012, 01:34 PM

TOO COOL!

Halloween is at the end of the month. Take that costume off the buoy.

Looks ready to be cut up for lobster bait.
If it is indeed an honest catch, good job, that is something special.

Aaron&Julie · 10-01-2012, 05:42 PM

Drake, congrats if it's legit, a truly awesome catch off of La Jolla. While I have witnessed a Dorado years back caught inside of the NW corner, I've never heard of bluefin caught there. We used to catch them not far from the mouth of Redondo harbor over a deep canyon, many years ago, so anything is possible, I suppose.
But, I can understand anyone's skepticism, as that fish looks like it's been in a fish hold for days, i.e. offshore trip and maybe one that didn't stay chilled properly. Having fished many a tuna trip and worked on albie boats, it's hard to believe that fish got that beat up in a kayak, on the same day it was caught. My 2 cents.
If this is gag, with other parties in on it, it's a good one, but I'm not biting. Too many pranksters around here to take this as legit. More power to you if it is on the up-and-up.

Finnneeeee. I'll come clean. I was going to let this go for a day or two but too many people don't like the fun.

The OP was a deck hand on the boat and we thought it would be funny =)

Plus theres been no more than 5 boats/kayaks in LJ. This was to see how much our sites fishdope effects the cove. I'm expecting to see a bunch more boats out tomorrow.

And to all those who say its days old. It was only about 7-8 hours or so.
Times are slow, let us have some fun. Too many people getting their panties in a bunch. LIke Matt and his lobster post.

Drake, glad you came clean, rumor has it there was a mob of anger divers with re-breathers coming to throw bricks at you!
