Two in one day Frank???? Oh man. That kinda fight leads me to believe that it might've been a seabass. Halibut will take good runs like that, but will usually slow down after 50-100 feet. A good seabass on 10 lb. however, will do that to ya. But, judging by the size of the boil, that would have to be like a 30, 40 lb. seabass and I think that's very unlikely in that shallow water with not much good sized bait or anything. It could've been a shark, maybe a thresher or something. Man, I'm sorry I didn't make it back out yesterday, after driving to camarillo and having no sleep the night before and fishing goleta that morning, I went to bed at 5. Well, if anybody catches a monster seabass or halibut or whatever with a plug in it's mouth, you'll know who's it is...
