Soupfin Shark and Blacks and Cabs

Paddled out last Sunday to explore a new (for me) stretch of coast.

Took while to find the fishies, but eventually got in the groove and took a handful of quality Rockfish (biggest was a 21.75 inch Black) and 2 cabs (bigger at 23 inches).

"Highlight" of the day was having a Soupfin shark come in and circle me after I had shot the first Cab and had a few fish already on belt...cool critter, but was obviously interested in my fish and I didn't wanna share...eventually worked my way back to my kayak and moved spots lol.



Yesterday I went for an afternoon dip with my buddy Mike and scored a meaty 24.25 inch Cab that weighed 10.1 pounds....Not the longest Cab I've taken but probably the fattest/heaviest...Also took a 27 inch Ling and found another similar size one that I pointed out to Mike and let him shoot.

Was using my new Darkwaters V11 light and it worked great, and am looking forward to finding future hidden monsters with it.

Very nice.

Seems like a good idea to chase and intimidate the overly inquisitive sharks.
