Where is my Lotto Ticket? - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

GregAndrew · 05-03-2015, 08:02 PM

Overall a slow morning at La Jolla today, but my number got pulled. I got one fish early, and another just before I was about to reel up my last drop. Did not see any other fish caught around me, so it was probably just a place and time thing. Unfortunately, the first fish came before I got the downrigger camera down, and the last just after I put it away. And, before anybody asks, yes that is my Halibut rod

Awesome double Greg.

Fishy Business · 05-03-2015, 10:10 PM

Nice Catch!!

Greg, way to stress test your halibut gear

Chuck D · 05-04-2015, 05:21 AM

Told you that was a beast Greg! Nice haul dude

So polite in the video when someone is about to run over your fish.

I keep telling other kayakers the same thing whether I'm hooked up or not

. I wish they would just leave me alone .

. . I wonder why Wade hasn't posted a video like this lately ?

. . I'm not sure which I prefer ? Rasta jamm , or drag screaming ? This one is gonna be tough to beat none the less , even with 7 months remaining . Please don't knock me off the Hali crown . That would be double duty .

. Well done , and great capture of a memorable event .

Is that your halibut rod?

What a F'n pig! Nice Greg!

Cbad Mike · 05-04-2015, 08:09 AM

You can hear how solid that second fish is when you hit it with the gaff.
Nice fish.

rossman · 05-04-2015, 08:25 AM

Nice fish Greg. Don't you hate it when you plan on harvesting one fish and the second one is a season best. I'm sure HOW would make good use of the extra meat. Good job.

StinkyMatt · 05-04-2015, 08:32 AM

Monster!

That rod looks like it might be a good halibut rod.

kayakfisherman · 05-04-2015, 10:01 AM

Greg, one of these days your rods are gonna start
have a long talk with you...

What a beautiful fish. Congrats.

I agree with TJones, it's nice not to bug people when they're fishing.

Old Man in the Sea · 05-04-2015, 10:48 AM

Excellent job Greg!!!

easyday · 05-04-2015, 10:58 AM

bigbarrels · 05-04-2015, 12:26 PM

ashmoz · 05-04-2015, 03:10 PM

LJ is very slow and full of sharks... Holy s**t this fish looked big.
