Halfway to The Cup! Go Sharks!!! 

After coming up a quarter inch short on my ling (23 3/4") last weekend, I returned to SC this morning to try to land my first keeper.

Launched from the west harbor at 6:45am to clear skies and calm waters, excepting the PBs of course. Didn't see any other NCKAers, and didn't hear anyone on 69 all morning. Started on a slow troll along the beaches towards Pleasure Point. The gentle rolling of the ocean and lack of action lulled me into complacency, and I was entirely unprepared when my line was finally struck. There was a deep bend, and the fish started to run on me, but by the time I roused myself to set the hook, he was off. So, that woke me up and kept me alert for the next one...

Finally, I got tired of being buzzed by PBs, so at about 8:30am I paddled to the kelp beds off of Pleasure Point, which were oddly deserted. I noticed some bait fish action, so I hooked up a sabiki and quickly caught half a dozen jacksmelt. Popped them in the livewell and hooked up a fishfinder rig. Drifted for the next hour along the outer edge of the kelp with no action. My bait was beginning to look fairly lethargic, so I was just thinking about giving him five more minutes before bringing in a substitute, when BAM fish on! The tip of my rod was in the water and line was peeling off--towards the kelp!

I tightened the drag and to pull him back, but I was already on the very edge of the kelp, so he had a decided advantage. After a few minutes of give and take, he made it into the kelp. I proceeded to fight fish and kelp, but with only 18# mono, I had to be careful. Fortunately, he had drug me to the kelp with him, so I was working above him. Several minutes later I finally managed to get him to the side of the yak. Given the fight and location (same spot as my underling), I was expecting a lingasaur...

Needless to say, I was quite startled to see a ghost! just over 30". My first keeper from my yak. I'm stoked, and kinda delirious now.

(I'll try to show pictures, but I haven't posted them before, so hopefully this works...)
