Went out loaded for bear and had an alarm going off on the boat. Stayed near to shore and called Sunset Marine. Checked a few things and it stopped. May be a bad speaker. Needs further investigation
So landed 3 skimpy little macs. Headed out into the ocean but stayed close due to the alarm. Got bupkis for hours then rod on the bottom rig bent hard. Got my ass whupped for the next 15 + minutes by a 6 foot soupfin.

Right on Jim! 8)
I bet that was fun from the boat!
Hope the gremlins go away and it's nothing serious.
Nice, Jim.
Right in Jim! Seriously, the soupies fight even harder from the boat! (Especially without steel leader)
Well done boss, well done...
I hope you figure that out with the alarm.
If you're only gonna get one, that one will work 8)
Gotta give credit to the pre made rock cod rigs at Wal Mart. 60 lb test and that held up to this battle. Thankfully the circle hook did it's job and latched in the corner of the mouth.
I was afraid it may have been a BSB. Sucked out half the spool on hookset.
Good thing is it bit on my old Tiger rod/506 set that has never caught anything. Was beginning to think it was a jinx rig.

The fight must've kicked a$$! Does that add to the list? Dave...

Well, it does say, "surf shark list," so I'm going out on a limb and saying no. Sorry Jim.

That's why I could never be the forum lawyer, I can't read.

No worries, still counts as my first soupie and one of the toughest fights.

I found the mother lode of them yesterday...... and needed one of your Walmart rigs ...nothing I had on me could get one of those soupies up. :o
I only break out the book for Mike, so will remain mum on this issue.
Nice going Jim. Musta been an awesome fight!
