Representin The VC

[SevengillTheVC]

Hello everyone,

I was invited by Ray to check this site out while we were fishing on Sunday. Latimeria was a huge inspiration to go for some larger game from the surf, and I discovered those big critters lurk nearby me. I know that most of you are based in SD but I have come here to bring a little VC flavor. Sunday night was perfect, a little chilly, tide mellow, incoming surf all night. We started fishing at about 5pm and around 8pmish I get hit hard. Massive headshakes, and lots of weight. Thought it was a big leopard but it turned out to be this healthy girl!


Forgot the tape but I'm gonna say around 88"-90", maybe more.


About an hour later I got a 45 minute run around by this plus model Batty.


Bite died after that with only one more thornback caught, but my friend did catch 8 or 9 nighttime perch in the 10"-12" range.

I'll also just throw in some pics of the Seven I caught two weeks ago. Another healthy female.



Look forward to seeing more big game posts on here, since that seems to be the most prevalent reports. And I'll keep posting the big critters we got here up north.

Welcome aboard boss!  Excellent catches right there and congrats!

I want to get people from all over on here, not just SD.  Way to represent VC!

I am a bit jealous as we have not caught any sevens in a while, but got some big soupies.  Keep it up!  The more big game from the surf on the forum the better!
