SHARKA-HALI-RAY

[jorluivil]

Line goes BONK!<o:p</o
I grab the rod out of the rod holder(newly installed Orca)<o:p</o
Head shakes….feels like the right kind but heavy
Fish runs away….feels like a shark I tighten the drag just a bit<o:p</o
Fish runs back toward me….feels like a batray<o:p</o
More head shakes….still feels like the right kind, but super heavy I back off on the drag
Fish turns and runs….feels like a ????, I thumb the spool and burn my skin
Fish comes to color, belly is on the opposite side of the fish so I have to reach over it for the gaff shot
my mind says: I have one shot at this, if I miss the gaff shot I'm going to lose this fish
I gaff the fish and I scream like a 14 year old girl at a Justin Beiber concert


45.5 lbs
46inches
Personal best

Fish was caught during a tournament, approximately 30-45 minutes before the weigh in.

[todd one]

Wow! Nice one Jorge. That thing is huge. Looks a lot larger than 46 inches. My personal best last week was 40inces and only weighed 23. Yours has to be larger than 46 inches to weigh twice as much. Well, what ever it weighs, that's a nice fish.

[FISH11]

What a prize. Monster fish. Thanks for sharing.

[ful-rac]

Yep jorge is the new halibut king...:eek:

[Im bent]

that is a bueaty I take my hat off to you.How many thoughts race into your mind when you have that thing in sight ? I have never caught anything spectacular but what I have caught still provides for a huge adrenaline rush.
seeing that fish inspires me I have been hitting the kelp like crazy here in cbad.
any tips u could throw my way would be well appreciated. :jig:

Fish until your arms fall off and when they do stitch them back on and fish some more.

[Deamon]

You caught that...there? Geez, I always thought Fred Hall tore down his kids fishing pond when the show ended...:the_finger:

[maui jim]

FRIGGEN' SWEET ! ! ! ! !:cool:

[jorluivil]

You caught that...there? Geez, I always thought Fred Hall tore down his kids fishing pond when the show ended...:the_finger:

Cabrillo is a tuff place to fish:

countless clueless private boaters
seadoos/jetski's running amuck
sailboats constantly going in and out of the marina
quadzillion lizard fish
2-3 foot wakes from the ships that are going in/out
average of 10-15 mph winds blowing you away from the launch
seals(I've actually had more issues with seals at cabrillo than any other location)
the worst part of it is the fact that they were dreadging and dumping and now what used to be is no longer

[Deamon]

:notworthy: When I first got the addiction on this plastic boating thing and found BWE Jorge-man, you were already pounding butts AND sharing your info to all who would listen. It couldn't have been caught by a more deserved fisherman. Jim

Awwwww. When i see you guys I'm giving you a man hug.

A lot of What I know I learned from watching videos on YouTube, doing searches on Google for halibut rigs, asking guys like Greg, Tony, Roby or Matt(yes, I said Matt ) questions about What works and What doesn't work for them. Unfortunately, the answer is that there is no answer, What works for one may not work for another. One thing that I can say that everyone of them(including me) does on a consistent basis is that they/I spend a lot of time on the water, and that my amigo, you cannot put a price on.

[SorryCharlie]

UNREAL!! That is a monster. Congrats!

I hope to get one half the size.....

[philr21]

Amazing.... the video tops it off. Came out well!

[wiredantz]

Jorge, all your hard work finally paid off. You fished so hard to turned 7 shades darker from when i first met you. :D



Great Catch! Great job! :cheers1:

[Sully1]

I'm surprised you didn't need a winch! Heck 'ya Partner!
