Launched at the beach at the end of Malibu Rd(forgot the name). Eventually hooked up w/ Vic on the water and had a good time trolling. Trolling is just another name for paddling long distances and dragging kelp and eel grass. What a great day though for doing that. Almost zero wind, though some current and some good bait movement. Waves were easy to read, but did see a few that you wouldn't want to take over your bow.
I started to leave Vic when I heard him shouting. He hooked up with something nice. Like the good guy I am, I went to see if he need help(also good photo op).
Turned out to be a nice 80lb Thresher. It's always "fun" releasing a mouth hooked Thresher. BTw, good job! Most excitement I had all day.
