Cabzilla attacks!

 Met up with Mahi for one of the most tiring outings in a long time. The wind was howling and sheep were in the field all day. The drifts,even with my new drift sock were stupid fast but we hooked a few.  I am beat.

  First we caught a few gophers C+R, then a starfish each.   I found a spot of big Blacks and caught 2 on a 7" swimbait, the largest was 21.75",biggest I have caught. Meanwhile Mahi was catching lings and I wasn't. I was thinking I burned all my "Ling Mojo". Then I had a good hit and it felt strong and did alot of headshaking, I'm thinking Ling finally. When it comes up to color, it looked odd orangy brown. Then I realized that it was a huge Cabbie. I promply lipped it and my day was made! I needed a cab for AOTY. Well long story short it taped out at 25".

 I sure don't feel like cleaning gear and fish right now!

                   

Dude, that cab is unbelievable !!! congrats. where were you fishing ?

Thought that black was a tuna for a moment,   Quality fishes !!!!

Shim,

Great Cabbie....I got a few 24" out of Half Moon Bay...so you raised the bar.  What were you using?  You don't have to reply.  If you don"t want to.  I will understand.

All fish caught on 7" fishtrap swim baits with 3 and 4oz heads. I guess the big bait big fish thing works. I really thought the cabbie was a nice ling.

Dude!! those things are Hogs! Way to stick it out. From what it sounds like the whole north coast was blown out. Randall

Wow... that's going to be hard to beat for the biggest cab.  Good to see hard work rewarded.  Congrats Mark!!!

Mark, great to see you got out there, that is one hell of a cabbie!!

I don't know but somebody is trying to sweep the groundfish!!!!!

Wow, good job on cab. How much  does the 25" cab weigh? Just curious ...

Eric, I never weighed the fish I just wanted to be done cleaning up. The fish is in the freezer already.

Brother you are having one heck of a season...that is a FAT cabby. 

nice cab, and them blue/blacks are large too, can't say i've seen them that big... cool.

Wasn't sure if that was a cabbie or Jarjar Binks himself! Nice work. You should be teachin' a clinic w/ the way you're hammerin' 'em up there.
