  I know for a fact that, had that been me hooking that huge pig,  sitting on my OB's seat would have been a little more difficult after a mass exidous  :smt044

  Good work landing it!

Daniel -

That was the best report of the year for you. Really enjoyed it, thanks and WTG on a PB ghost. The SB WSB bite has been on for almost 5 months. Really epic for those lucky enough to live in that area. Like the ninja look too. I am going to make you a head band for x mass.  :smt006

great write up Daniel! I used to pier fish at Gaviota when I was a kid.
I've never paddled there, and after Duane Strosaker's account I kind of took it off my list. Looks like I gotta put it back on.

The long-shot seabass taste even better, so I hear :smt003. Congrats!
