Fishing for Perch produces surprise catch

Caught a few perch today but only kept three. Steaming tonight! Started Half Moon Bay State beach did well using plastic worm. Decided to drive south to San Gregorio State Beach. On my second cast into the surf my reel starts unloading. My thought striper. 8 lb test so off to play we went. Took a good 5 min. Of heart thumping excitement. Finnally gaining on fish a Steelhead on the beach. Approx. 31l2 lbs. But what a fun fight.

Nice haul Frank!

I've never thought about reeling a steelie in from the beach. That's a nice one.

Thanks for the report.

Whoa!  Steel from the surf, go buy a lotto ticket!

Why would he do that....I read on the intranets that you can keep bycatch whether you were legal when you caught it or not
