super nice one!!!

Jim you should have given some sort of scientific explanation of the wind, current moon phase, depth, temperture, current el nino patterns...to explain how and why you caught that fish...would have made a better story...

Now everybody knows the real secret to catching halibut...:eek:

Jim....u left out those minor details In the txt msg. Nice one for sure.

Nice catch jim. Im headed out on Tuesday.

Sweet catch dude, that's how it's done :cheers1:

Nice carpet Jim, that is great advise Matt gave you. Every now and again it gets me bit too. I think I was out there when you were too, got something as well;)

You Set A Circle Hook?
 

Did you actually set a circle hook or did you wind tight?:reel:

Well done Jimbo.
That fish looks much bigger than the dimensions mentioned.
Super stoked for you.

That's a beauty Jim! That picture is awesome.

Congrats

Nice Halibut...and a bonus fishing with Matt
because laughing with the sewer team always make fishing more fun...
:reeling::reeling::reeling::reeling::reeling:

Okay, okay...hahahaha!!!! Way back when I fished the largemouth bass, someone showed me the "hold it out" photo stance...call it old school photo enhancing...:D
With my skinny arse arms, it wasn't easy holding this fish out while Matt took the pics...:cool:

Here's maybe a more representative photo...but I like the first one more...:the_finger:

Friggin door mat!:cheers1:

Giving us all hope for the big one. Contrats! :luxhello:

Very nice Barn Door!

Congratulations
I'd be interested in the play by play from gaff shot to clipped and secured. I imagine it was violent....
