Was not planning on fishing this weekend, but Snagged calls me at 7 pm Friday night and asks me if I want to take the boat out and I said why not. Good wave forecast and didn't want to miss the weather window. We left Port A around 7 am Saturday morning hoping to find some weed patches and another shot at a Bull Dolphin. Well no weed patches on the way out. So we stopped at a rig and got ran off by a helicopter. Tried another rig with no luck so headed over to Hospital Rock. Bottom fished, drifted sardines, trolled equals nada. So we left there and started heading towards some other rigs when we spotted some other boats fishing and joined them drift fishing. Snagged pulls in a 15 lb. snapper and we decided to hang around a bit. I caught a shark and was thinking about leaving, but then hooked a keeper kingfish and the bite was on. Snagged managed 3 snapper and one kingfish. Then my Torium took off like never before and my line went all over the place. Snagged thought it might be a mako but it ended up being my first wahoo and went over 30 lbs. Ok we're definitely staying here. Caught a couple more kings and was looking for the last one to finish off our limit when my rod goes off again. Great another king, I head to the front of the boat and something peels off 100 yards in about 10 seconds. Can you say WAHOOOOOOOO!!!!!!! Took me a while to wear him down, but we got him in the boat. Snagged estimated the fish to be over 75 lbs. Picture is attached. Not bad for a 21 ft. boat and some drifted sardines. SM
