They're fun to catch, tuff to keep alive in a live well. But when I think of La Jolla Bonita, this is the one that comes to mind.

Does Raquel Welsh live in La Jolla?

I guess so.

Does she fish from a kayak?

I always seem to get them when I cast and retrieve, or troll a sabiki right by the kelp

The top one is a bointo I caught on saturday on a greenback! For reference, the yellows are about 17-20 lbs...

Not sure were she lives now, but she went to my alma matter La Jolla High School, although a few years before I did. Not kayak related but it sure could be a fun weekend!

First thought was "How old is she now" Born 1940 = 75

Appreciated the info.
Did go out last Fri - noted in another post that after an early morning YT (and playing tag with that pesky hammerhead), got two very nice bonito before heading in. Bonito caught on mini GB's caught near kelp (size of sardines). PERFECT bonito bait - couldn't keep 'em away. Might hit it again manana - wondering about the bait situation.
