Pillar Point monster salmon

This pretty much sums up my year for salmon thus far.



FBR at 40 pulls behind a 2lb ball just outside the buoy off of Pillar Point. This little monster chomped off half of a herring. I'm thinking this has to be the smallest and/or cutest little salmon ever caught in the Pacific.

When I launched there were a few birds at the breakwater but when I came back it looked pretty lively and if I had time I would've stuck around. It might be alot of smoke but signs like that usually have something underneath maybe just stripers but it could be anything. If I was looking for an inshore bite I wouldn't be looking for it at LM.

Wild ride coming back through the devil's triangle with 10+swell and alot of breakers. There was a sailboat anchored up outside the breakwater 50 yds from breaking surf and maybe 20 from the rocks. I watched them slinking there way out there - maybe they were fishing.

That's some big water out there! Like snowboarding on a kayak...

You deserve a reward for that one.  Tiny would be an overstatement.

oh man that's hilarious...last year  I caught a monster salmon on a sabiki..it was slightly larger than the anchovies we were catching

The shakers are in, eh?

awwww isn't that a cute little guy. The kokes we catch inland are even bigger than that guy. I hope that fish is not the 1 millon salmon coming up the river.
