..ain't kayak, but it is a fishing report. Hey, I've seen a ton of kayaks, much more than usual on Wednesdays!

LJ was packed, but it was sloooow. One of those days - a ton of people out there in anticipation of an epic bite, which always seems to take a day off when we all think it's going to happen. Oh well - there's always tomorrow.

Bautiful conditions, not much action, at least not for us.

Around 10 AM, we decided to move to South LJ to try for halibut. We were approaching the tip of the high tide, always the time when the hopes are higher for the flat kind. Just like up North, we couldn't keep black seabass off of our squirts - we got 3! The models down South where much smaller though, 20-30#... Still great game, all released healthy.

Then the halimomma decided to sign in. I had my rod in my hand at a time trying to move the line around floating kelp. She inhaled it almost pulling the rod out of my hand, and just sat back down on the bottom. Started lifting her up, liking her signature moves and significant weight A LOT!!!!... She cooperated. She almost came up to the color, then saw the boat and took a blistering run back down and out. I had a pretty loose drag, she must have taken at least 50 yards of line.... At that point, I was already too much in love with her, so I turned her back and up...

I thought I matched my personal beast, but I just realized it actually beat it. Thanks Brad for a beaut of a picture, can't stop looking at her!

That is sweet, Adi. Looks like she broke 40lbs, or thereabouts.

Adi, I have been back a few times to get another look too. I am guessing well over 40, more towards 50ish.

Hold the presses, just noticed the shadow at the bottom lol.
