Out in the Deep Blue Sea...

You know those pictures of guys who catch incredibly huge fish? Where the length f the fish is almost as tall as the person? That wasn't me. That was the jackpot fish and I just had to take a picture with it. 

Even though I did not catch the biggest fish in the boat, I did get to catch some of the biggest fish I have ever caught. From White Sea bass to rockfish, the Pacific Islander changed my definition of deep sea fishing. We started early... At 4:15 am to jig some Squid for bait. We ended up trading a breakfast burrito, two snickers and a hash brown for three nice scoops of live calamari. But my favorite part of the whole day was battling with my White Sea bass. Perhaps a mere 18 pounds in weight, he took me around the entire boat. What a game we played indeed. That was some of the best fresh fish I have had.
