Took my son out on a skiff this morning for a combo Father's Day and elementary school graduation gift. We got on the rockfish pretty early and then around 10am my son was struggling with his pole as I brought in another gopher, when I looked over to see what kind of rocky he had a nice legal butt!

Bite slowed down and I had to cut one of my shrimp flies off, tied on a bare hook with a small swimbait...5 mins later HARD pull. thought I was snagged again but this snag decided to run out some line, fish on! 26" ling gave my $29 Cabela's bass pole a run for its money but man that was fun. funny thing, had my son pull in his line to help me bring in my fish, and that greedy bastard nabbed my son's fly on its way up and then proceeded to run pulling line from both our reels.

All and all, a great Father's Day.
