Successful trip with my dad

[vdisney]

Had a good day with my father at the pier yesterday.  We missed half a dozen solid pull downs, but managed to stick a few.  We ended up with 5 calicos up to 17", a hand full of small rockfish and a 20" halibut.  The highlight of the morning was my dad yelling "I'm hooked up".  His rod was buckled and the spool was spinning, at first I thought it was a bat.  After coaching him on 'raise up and reel down' he finally got it to the base of the pier.  Turned out to be a leopard, guessing it was around 4 1/2 foot.  We broke it off and sent it on it's way, everything was released.  He was stoked and I was happy for him. Not sure how much longer he will be able to do this, he will be 98 in a few months.  Until then, Life is good

Very cool! Must have been the highlight of his day with a solid leopard shark. Great day of catching too.
