Beauty of a WSB, what did it weigh and did you measure its size?

Mark did the weight Think he said 35lb give or take.. didn't measure it's size but boy was it tasty

That fish also kicked the shirt out of you didn't it Rob..? If you listen closely you will hear it happen twice... Nice catch Rob...

Thanks a lot Rob....pushing me under the truck (or is it bus) like that! LOL I missed out on the trip too....thanks to the kidney stone attack I had! Took a whole week off to celebrate down there...had a grand total of 2 beers and headed home Sunday!

Bill...just so you know, we had a full boat.... Yeah,, I know...excuses, excuses, excuses!

We would of had a better day and lot more video to show, but Rob had 2 fish rock up on him and I had one snap 200 pound test spider wire like it was kite string and it snapped it off, almost at the reel...

At the first tug I felt, I leaned back in order to raise my pole and try to keep it from rocking up like what had just happened to Rob, it then instantly gave another great big tug on that line and with a "SNAP" it was all over except for me cryin' and my what it could have been stories... Like Stuart famously says "Sometimes the Fish Win"

How far out were you?

Nice. The white sea bass have been very cooperative this spring!

That was a nice catch Rob. FYI don't eat beans before you go out, bad for filming.:lol:

That was Mark off gassing trying to make me laugh so the fish would get away...

The stains on the deck matched your ass cheeks amigo, my ass is a lot bigger and would have done more damage...

I will get even with you on Friday... Did suck to watch that spider wire break on you

Very nice fish...

No comment on the fighting belt. :D

Hmmmm.... Not wanting to flame anyone for their personal tackle choices, but I have placed Spider Wire (and all the other super thin chain-woven braids) on my permanent blacklist. All it takes is one tiny little nick or fray in them, and they go from 200lb test to 8lb test.

Braids that use Dyneema weaves (PowerPro, Tuffline, Magicbraid, etc) do a better job of holding their rated strength.

All JMHO.

Sport fishing - giving the fish a 50/50 shot of coming out the victor.

It's been a good fishing season so far this year - you guys were out 15-16 miles, yes?

We went out out to about 18 to 20 but we did get hits in around 15-16 miles too...
