never know when your going to need them

There are two real hot spot for catching these in NP. The guys from the 100# plus clubs are usually there trying to out do their last big ringers. These are a blast on a tube. Anyone relate? Way back in an older thread LC has a picture posted of an at least 80# plus up on the dock that he landed. I haven't caught one that big yet but I am always game to try.

Good fun right there yep.

I used to fish for them back in the day at NP as well. The biggest I have landed is around 80lb or so. I am guess. I know there are some big bats in there. I have been spooled on 4/0 60lbs

That's awesome! I heard the way to estimate the weight is by the size of the disk. The disk is the main body with out the wings and tail. They say a 12" disk is about a 25# fish. So there's a guideline of sorts. Yeah, you get spooled a lot when you target these guys. I catch them a lot in the surf too. Always fun.

And they do have a stinger...

no pictures, this was befor the use of cell phones and that good stuff lol.

I have also caught one around 100lb on swimbait when skiff fishing long beach. had to chase it down with the boat.

these weights are only est weight so please dont hold me to it.

Cool vid, I caught a shovel nose about that size from the surf on a crank bait. Took me forever to fight that thing in.

So when we all going mudmarlin fishing? from a tube... at night... with no headlamps.

Maybe we should do something like that this summer. Mud marlin fish off

I'm already entered in a tourney next month for this very thing.....
My personal best so far:

Went completely airborne 45 seconds in!

Dont think I am quite crazy enough yet to take a sleigh ride behind one of those monsters in a tube!!!!
15' rod Shimano Baitrunner 12000D with 50lb power pro and a 45lb mono topshot. Only took ten minutes even then.
Helluva fight!

Nice one Jaws! Where the tourny at? Be cool to come out and watch it or shoot the breez till you hook a stealth bomber.

Very nice jaws!!

Nice bat, if it's the tournament I'm thinking of its over on another forum. SCSF

Yep Yep......
The prefishing is already yeilding up to 50" ers

Going to have to borrow someones A game! lol

did you catch him on squid?

Nice, you fishing in the bay or surf. These slow cold nights is making me wanting to hit the bay to do little bat fishing myself. It's been too long

Yes on squid, in MB.
Quite an aceivement to bend a 15' rod almost back down to the reel even if it was an Uglystik

What size hooks do you use for ones about 30+" wide?

I use my calstar and Newell, there is no need for a long rod in NP
