La Jolla 5/30

Had a fun day out on Tuesday, had the day off to stretch out to a 4 day weekend. My fishing time on the kayak has been non existent this year. First trip was Sunday and second trip was this one on tuesday. I caught this in 115 feet of water off of the condo. My largest keeper from the kayak. It was a little unsettling, in a good way, to see this come up kayak side. Gaffed it, kept it in the water, secured the game clip, then jammed it into the center hatch. The halibut did not freak out.
Measured out at 40 inches and 33 pounds.

Nice fish.....

Funny I was just telling a friend I got raked by a 30lb plus halibut...at first i thought another soupfin, didn't have a trap hook on my dropper loop, after examining the teeth marks
On my mackerel I thought halibut, put another mackerel on, no time to change rigs dropped another mackerel down and had him on again but never got the hook in him 90ft of water west of the big motel, I could see it on my graph.it was like I could see what was going on down there in my brain...good for you.

Fish 11 thanks for the previous photo for my avatar, by far the best on the water shot I have ever had.

I don't work at a restaurant but my step brother does and gave me the invite to fillet there. It was great to have all the table top space and the nice knives at my disposal.

A few more details on the day. Used a drooper loop with circle hook and 6oz weight, spanish mack as bait about 6" long. I think the current was running a little north that day, definitely was not pulling south like I am used to. Water at the surface just looked a little different, so I decided to drift that spot, thought I might get some surface action, dropped the bottom rig out as well since I had plenty of bait. Hook up was around 10am
