bounce, bounce, bounce zzzZZZZzzzZZZZzzzZZZ

40 lb and 4 oz

Launched at 3:15, got bait. Dumped a 7# hali boatside right away. Got this one a couple hours later. Broke a treble hook with his jaws. Game clips are a good thing. Never freaked out on me.

My second ever legal hali would have been the 7# model I dumped boatside, so instead it was this one. My only other legal was a 26" one for WCW last year. This is a pb by far. I have never had any luck with halibut fishing, and I don't have any skill at it either. I took some advice from some experts and it paid off finally. I have been pounding sand and trying on and off for this one for over a year now. It was a great day for halis as Adi and Brad connected in the morning, and this one chewed in the afternoon.

That's insane! Is there going to be a slam this month?

Don't be surprised if it stays your personal best for a while.

You guys are way too gooooooood.

madscientist · 07-27-2007, 07:23 AM

Sweet flattie. I've never had much confidence fishing for them in the PM but that shows it can be done. Ready to go ghostbusting?
