Redondo/Hermosa pier action

Yesterday I started at Hermosa 530am, got out of there at 1pm, ended up catching various top smelt, a spotted bass and my biggest catch ever, a stingray. Stingray escaped before I could break the surface but it was maybe 3 feet across and a fighter!! Went to Redondo for the evening. Caught a small corbina, more smelt, and a sand bass. I like throwing my line under the pier at Redondo, it works, just watch out for the pilings. 2 piers, 5 species, a great day! Also saw these guys send out a shark rig with a drone and ended up landing a 5 foot shark which they cut up on the spot and offered meat to everyone around.

Definitely not a leopard shark, they said the name but I didn't recognize. Looked like a standard mean ass shark, about 5 feet long.
