Nice thread jack! You couldnt wait could ya! That was a beautiful fish though!

Vikingj · 06-03-2012, 08:44 PM

Thanks, guys, for the feedback.

JB-"You should have seen it after his "swing and a miss."
..That wasn't a miss- it was my warm-up swing! Thanks for taking the pic.

Journeyman (Jarred?)- Your new mini-ProA is s-w-e-e-t. I'm envious! Hope you can join me sometime-I'm often out on Fri.

"How did u set up your rig for that bad boy? "..I usually take 2-3 rods each with different rigging and trade off if one isn't working. There doesn't seem to be a best one for hali (3xswivel dropper loop, sliding egg sinker, drop shot, and others)-I've nice hali on all when they're good and ready. The drop shot is what worked for me this time. I always use a trap hook with large sardines and macs.

"apologies for the thread jack, in advance...sorry, still a little giddy...congrats on the toad"...No apologies necessary, but I do reserve the right to jack your next post! I can totally relate to your excitement -outstanding 'but. How big was it? Heard there was a twin but maybe we should update it to triplets?

Nice fish Wayne. The last couple of times that I fished at Dana I only got 1 bite and each time came home with a halibut.

That fish was measured at 46 inches, 30 lbs...still stoked, that one is gonna be hard for me to better, but I sure am gonna try...great to be on the water
with everybody this weekend...

You guys are animals!

Catching 30 pound Hali's like they are lizard fish.

Damn, I'm inspired.

PapaDave · 06-04-2012, 09:42 AM

NextBite · 06-04-2012, 10:14 AM

Nice Hali

yaksailor · 06-04-2012, 08:50 PM

Wow, nice 30 lbdr, Brett. That is a monster. Is that yer custom truck hoist? Looks like you're gonna need to invest in one if that's the kind of fish you're catching now.

oneyedeer · 06-04-2012, 09:35 PM

Man! I shouldnt have stayed out sooo late could have been there with you guys
