LOL - Here you go

I’ve caught jumbos south of Ensenada. Right a 2lbs.

I'm using a Phenix trifecta light 10' for throwing jerkbaits in the surf, reel is loaded up with 30lb braid and I usually use 12-20lb leader, enough to have my finger on that instead of braid when casting. I keep having a problem with break offs near my knot though. My knot doesn't fail, rather my l...

I went to Lake Poway 3 times with a friend that had caught 2 fish in the teens throwing big glidebaits before the covid thing. I never caught one but what I saw was unbelievable.

At least it was a nice croaker... And you got out....
Love that spot...
