We had the pleasure of fishing with Richard Chase Sr. Caught some herring and pilchards inside gov cut at the usual spot. Trolled out and picked up a few mackeral and a huge blue runner, threw him in for later. Looking for some clean water , we headed out deep. Set up the kite and flat lines and caught some small dolphin after a few drifts. I decided to put out the huge blue runner on a deep line to entice a bigger fish. Richard was taking shots at me, saying the runner was too big and I just laughed back, thinking in my mind watch this!! Not more than 5 minutes the rod sizzled, taking the light drag rapidly. After a tough battle of 15-20 minutes we could see color. A huge king appeared and we got him into the boat With high fives all around, we headed back home with a lasting memory!!! Weighed in 42 lbs!!!
