My first 200 point AOTY fish!

Got a Huge Cabazon this weekend on a keel jig with a shrimp fly teaser using my new SPJ rod. (Barbless hooks)

SOO much fun, this was the only fish that peeled line on that rod this weekend. I was able to dead lift him off the bottom and just reel down a couple cranks every time. Once he got halfway up he just fanned out causing huge drag but I steady retrieved and got him in the net. Huge light blue fillets and a melted crab in his stomach!

I had crimped my barbs because I was also looking for salmon as well but the noodle rod kept everything pinned pretty well, really awesome weekend on the lost coast and filling out my aoty roster, like 5 species from this trip alone.

Anyways fish of a life time for me, so glad to be on the salt again up north,

happy hunting!

One of the nicest cabezon I've ever seen come out of Shelter Cove - very near the top of the list at 26"+ and over 13 pounds.

Couldn't come for a nicer guy.  Nice work, Yaady.
