Nice one Mcfly.
I had a whole lot of nothing touch my bait all the way in to Heartbreak Hotel as Trout called La Valencia. I had made a bunch of 7-8 inch macs and then later one big fat one over 12 inches. I kept the big one long and changed out the smaller ones every once in a while. Paddling in around 7:30ish, I wanted to try a setting on the camera, so I snapped a pic of Dennis as he paddled in front of La Velencia with the lights all on, turned out like crap. Before I started up again the big bait starts going off, let it run quite awhile and fish on! Made a nice run and plowed into the kelp. Popped it out and it kept circling trying to get back down, was making some headway and pop. Reeled in about 10 feet of line and my hook, if it was lighter out I am sure I would have seen color. As I was putting the rod away I noticed that I did not pull the hook, the hook had broke :x
Fish felt real heavy, I am gonna guess 56 pounds or more :lol:
