San Diego bay morning with insane mystery fish - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

No seals were in the area. I dont think I have even seen one that far back in the bay. Other fisherman would have been having the same thing happen to them as well since there were tons of other fisherman out there.

Mud marlin? What technique do you use to catch smelt?

Shovelnose sharks can get big in the bay. My largest was a 52 inch female that ran 22 lbs.

Might have been a MidShipman ...

black sea bass could be a possibility. I know a few people have caught them in that area.

I was in less than 10 feet of water. Do large black Sea Bass come in that shallow?

I wouldn't assume so, but then again I wouldn't even assume they would go into the bay. More then likely it was a bat Ray but you just never know.

I didn't see it but I'm guessing it was either a big eye or a marlin.......could have also been a 50lb lizard fish

I found some near a dock and used a sabiki.
