Thought I'd share what I caught with my cousin while in Newport Beach. Caught these shorefishing. Was a different experience fishing on the beach. Surfers in the water, People tanning on the beach, Dogs running around, People swimming and excercising on the beach. This was one of the best fishing trips I had ever been on, had doubles, but I didn't look at the stingray he landed because I was reeling in my 59 inch Leopard Shark at the same time. All together we hooked 4, landed 3 Leopards 51.5, 52, 59 inches and a sting ray. Lost 1 Leopard I horsed in when we were running into the ocean to grab the shark by the tail to drag ashore, but nonetheless it was an excellent vacation and an extraordinary evening fishing (or should I say catching).
