South big sur- Tangled up in Blue(s) (w/ pics)

Launched solo in southern big sur this AM, after watching the San Martin bouy wave height trend lower and lower, even with high wind warnings for this eve.  For the sake of entertainment, I'll call this place Canon Perdido.   

It was a hot bite, very productive.  The Blues were big and bold, and they even kept 4oz of lead making it to the bottom @ times.    First fish was a 22" 7+ lb vermillion.  You can see him in the pics.  He dwarfs the 24 1/4 inch ling that I got.    Lost some other big boys too, as well as making several terminal tackle contributions.  I released 4 fish for every one I kept.  The standard blues, vermillions, browns,  gophers and a barely legal ling. 

It was a bit bouncy out there, but it was fun to look at all of the boiler rocks (see pics, and the bird life).

More fish tacos tonight!!!!

Nice looking fish and ocean. Is that a scupper pro?

Yep, its a scupper pro, handles great in the surgey big sur conditions, and it covers the water nicely, especially if theres wind. 

go team scupper pro. you are right that verm does dwarf the ling! it's a pizza plate!

great pics!

Great pics. That Verm is a bruiser!

Nice report I need to get up there and give that a shot maybe next weekend...

Andy check your PM later in the week...

Great report and cool pics.  WTG.   

Solo! my wife would kill me. Next time pm me so you have some company. That looks like an awesome launch. Shore break?

Its kind of a boulder launch, but the kelp keeps the swell predicable. 

SWEET!...thanks for the details and pics...that Vermy is a P-I-G- TOAD!

Very nice verm. Will have to hookup before the end of the season.
