Since June 1, we have brought in 24 kingfish, And only lost 4. mine was one of those lost.

I caught a sea turtle. My hooks were in his flipper, and i tightened the drag so I could get him closer before i cut my line. Well, the hooks came out of it's flipper, so I rebaited. About thirty minutes later I had a 30 pound class king hit. It skyed twice and my steel leader broke. Bummer. Lesson learned. Always check your drag to make sure it is adjusted right!
