I finally had a chance to hit sand again. The conditions looked pretty good for a VC Seven hunt.
Conditions were great. 1' Surf and the wind died down to almost nothing at sunset. High tide right before sunset so there would be some water movement during the session.
I missed a short bite that never did more than make the rod jump once or twice. The Bonito head looked untouched except for where the crabs were chewing the end. Decided to recast the same bait so I poke a couple holes with the knife for more juice and winged it back out. Didn't even have to wait 10 minutes before I see the rod tip doing the seven dance. After a brief fight, consisting of short runs and bulldog headshakes, I was able to beach the 79" seven. A quick hook removal and quick release with the shark swimming off strong.
Not bad for a short session.
Insert Crappy Picture here!!!

Awesome man. I'm really happy for you. Vc is really tempting me for next weekend....
Short but sweet.
Nice. I just need to grow a pair and get out there.
WHERE IS THE PICS!?!?!? Nice Ron! Good to see they're being kind to everyone ;)!
Nice one Ron! Except where is the picture?! I want to catch some sharky!

I've posted worse pics. It is still a nice fish.
Nice 7 bro! Dealing with the mist and usually only having a cell phone camera can be tricky, takes some practice but, using the headlamp to get the camera to focus seems to be the best way I've found to get good surf pics at night. Takes a few tries but usually I can get a go clear pic in a few attempts.
Yea it's sometimes hard indeed with the phone. I actually did not take the pic, there was another guy fishing who ended up taking a pic and was kind enuf to send it to me. I was just trying to get it unhooked and released asap and didn't bother with a pic.
