Description
Some people go fishing once and become hooked for life. In this Zevely Zone, I met a legendary California fisherman.
Not by land and not by boat, Ken Jones' favorite fishing hole is the Pacific Ocean by pier. "I love to travel," said the 75-year-old fisherman. There are 130 saltwater piers in California and Ken has fished every one of them. "You can catch some huge fish off a pier, big halibut, big bonita, sharks and rays," said Ken. It doesn't happen all of the time, Ken showed me a 50-pound yellowtail caught off the Crystal Pier.
Ken was going to publish a book on pier fishing near San Francisco. Someone beat him to it, so he set a bigger goal and wrote a bigger book. "I decided to do the whole state," said Ken who caught his first saltwater fish in 1956 off a San Diego pier.
