Fishing Megathread: Looking For Big Girls Who swallow

I am righty on everything. I grew up using a baitcaster the majority of the time so when I started saltwater fishing and bought spinning gear, it felt too awkward to reel with my left.

Im exactly the same. A couple of times people looked at me like a leper for switching the handle on a spinning reel to the right side.

Rod/reel porn pics aren't loading for some reason...
 
Scott rod and Ross Colorado reel. Needless to say, I blew the budget but I love it.

I'll get a pic.

Was certainly targeting bigger fish and hoped to get some keeper calico bass and hopefully a yellowtail.  But it wasn’t to be. Fished all over both trolling a rapala and just got hounded by mackerel.  Caught a couple short calicos on the plastic (see attached).  But when I’m bored on the boat, I throw a 4lb test spinner over the side and typically get little pinners.  And that happened again.  Did get a whitefish once on the tiny spinner that my boy and I added to a fat calico we caught and made good fish tacos.  But this sheephead was my fattest fish I got to the boat when I was just fucking  around.  I knew if I tried to boat it on 4 lb test the line wouldn’t be able to lift it out.  But I didn’t want gaff hi: because I have no interest in boating one fish to filet.  But they are really tasty.  Look at those teeth.  They scour the sand and rocks for crustaceans.  And they taste like crab.  And they are a super weird fish.  All sheephead are born female, and as they age (like this guy) they turn male.
