Nice fish though!

That's the first thing that caught my eye.

Regardless, congrats on getting your cherry popped.

Nice butt bro!

Thanks everyone. You can't see it in the picture but that white parachute chord is through its gill and secured to the yak. I don't think it was going anywhere once I got that through its gill. I definitely need a game clip for the next trip out though.

Way to put in a full day! Congrats. Jim

WTG! Is that outside of oceanside harbor? I've done a few trips to the buoy and outside the surfzone to the pier for no luck. I nailed 1 26'' inside the harbor by the entrance last year, I remember when inside the harbor was epic back in the day but not anymore :/
Anyway, congrats on the nice butt!

the thing about halibut is, they always bite when you least expect it. even dedicated beginners have a shot at trophy-sized fish

Congrats! Nice first butt.

I find that sometimes the sailboats out of Dana really like to get up close and personal with the kayaks.... Havent had them help me land a butt tho!
