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!!!
Fished with Dave and Mike Goldberg of Hollywood back in November. They caught numerous yellowtail, some nice mackeral and some mutton snappers up to 10 lbs and a nice grouper. It was a great day on the water!!!
