Easter Sunday while fishing a kelp reef with a 1 oz warbait and bass tackle, I ran
across a nice surprise ...

Sweet, nice butt.
That gaff shot was mighty close to your leg, point that business end out.

Nice back yard butt Larry!

Very nice Larry

Very nice, and looked like a fun rod to get it on!! No co-star credits for the fish though?

Halibut eat Warbaits. I placed my order !

Thanks Larry, but that guff is really too close to your leg..... I will not copy that.

Beautiful fish

Great job! Can't wait to get a day off when it's not crappy outside and go do some fishing like that.

Nice surprise Larry. Looks like a nice day out there.

RE: Gaff is really too close to your leg ...

Yes but most importantly I saved the meat with a clean belly-gaff!

Here's another "did I really do that" photo from 2006, holding up a soupfin
for a picture. You would think that I really didn't need that leg.

And another from 2004, where I'm 'noodling' for a great white, this time it's my
right leg though.

Notice its the same gaff that I used yesterday.

Love the Great White noodling pic! How did you manage to get that fish with all the obligatory guys in boats running over all the fish like they manage to do 100% of the time they are on the water? Job well done!
