1/23 Hook UP II
 

15 skiffs and about 40 yaks and not much action all around. I got one lucky bite on the squid n jig around 8:30. Got some crazy video to edit as a lil female sealion decided to bite it in the tail just as I was going to sink the gaff............it ran all the way back to the bottom in 120 feet. Winched it back up and gaffed, clipped and bled on board. 32 pounds.......stoked!

B E N D O ! :D

Great fish Andy!
Congrats

Nice fish Andy..

I was out today in a private boat from that perspective .... damn kayakers everywhere like mosquitos ...... :D

Well done sir.

Very nice barn door!

Way to go Andy, nice fish! And nice reel, too. I have three of them. If you feel you need more cranking power, Penn Jigmaster gears fit and that would drop you from the stock 5:1 to a lower 4:1 ratio.

Who's got the bigger smile? You or the halibut???

Nice door matt

Nice fish Andy!

I have been using those handles for the last 5 years. Get em on ebay from a guy in Torrance for about $14.00 each...

That's a nice fish Andy! Congrads!

awesome!

hope that thing was very dead being that close to your nuts...

Awesome catch Andy!!!:luxhello:

Stil looking for my first in the yak...:cheers1:

Well done!

Geno

full vid :D I usually don't worry about those bait stealing female sea lions messing with my fish, this one surprised me, you could see where it bit down right on the middle of the tail...........and then just swam off.

Nice, very nice..The Masta

Solid one!

Let me get this right...
Lay the fish out on a silver platter...whisper sweet nothings into Mrs. Dawg's ear...she'll then turn and swim off?

Got it, I'll try this next time and get back to you with my results. :the_finger:

Nice slab! I was one of the 40 yaks out there, but the whale that cruised by nice and close was the highlight of my day...

Very nice Andy! :cheers1:

Outstanding job with the flattie! :the_finger:

Nice video and butt!

:luxhello::cheers1::luxhello:

I dig the tunes...FYI Les Claypol is a die hard Flyfisherman.

nice Andy, 32?!
was that after blood loss?

Big Brown Beaver! Iceman is on a hot streak! :notworthy:

Haha. You guys must miss Mitchell aka "Mr. blood loss"

Nice Hali Andy, and good to see you beat out the Frickin furbag.

Sweet fish Andy, congrats on the nice eats on the slow bite. We'll take only one bite for the day if that's the results :)
