Where were you fishing, you left that part out of the report.

Looks like you hugged the damn thing so hard you just about popped his head off!!!!

StinkyMatt · 10-02-2012, 02:47 PM

Yeah baby! So glad that worked out for you. Your report was cool, felt the excitement.

Nice Hali

WTG!! Lots of times it is just about getting on the water, not having every gadget, gizmo and technique down to a science. But I would invest a few bucks in a gaff or net if I were you. Can't tell you how many times I have landed (and lost) a Halibut that was just hooked by a small piece of skin. Oh yeah, make sure the gaff is sharp too

Ya its actually relaxing not having any electronics to worry about and just fish alone. im gonna buy a gaff soon once im done with my bait tanks plumbing. And ill make sure the gaff is extra sharp.

Great report and nice fish! I know there is a 36+" one waiting for you but you will definitely need a GAFF! If you think a 30" goes ballistic you ain't seen nothing yet!
