View Full Version : Julie takes a mulligan!!!!!!!!!!

Went north for some action...so here's the story...
After 5 successful trips of catching legal halibut, we thought we'd try for one more before the storms came in.
Picked up sardines and headed to Doheny. We usually fish on weekdays, but made it out before the crowd. A very good tide change (+8-foot), plus some of the conditions we've had good luck with before had us hoping for good things to come.
Bait (sardines) were much smaller than usual, but alive none the less.
At about 7:30AM, high tide, Julie starts fighting the beast (46.8lbs on a certified scale): Aaron, relagated to deckhand/guide provided all the assists, coaching, cuttting lines, etc. After 20 minutes or so, up comes the 1st barndoor.

Aaron encourages Julie to keep fishing, telling her there can be another barndoor out there for either of us. Less than 30 minutes after she is back in the water, she blows her whistle for Aaron's assistance. He comes, not believing it could be another barndoor, but taking all the necessary precautions, cutting lines, etc. Finally her 2nd fish of a lifetime comes up (34.0lbs).

One bitchen' day for the 2 of us.
We realize it is one of her catch of a lifetime days. And we will be blown away for days to come.
Here's the cheesy driveway photo of them both:

Just freek'n awesome!....when I landed I saw these two tails hang'n out a ice chest....unbelievable!! Great job! A few of us did some long range recon patrols to some different areas and I ended the day with a 15lbr. I hope the two of you are entered in the tourney in a couple weeks, your on a hot streak at that place, you'll definitely be a favorite to win.

To hell with lifting weights, lift halibut.

I just checked my IGFA record book, and indeed you do have an IGFA womens record. No matter what size line you were using 2-80lb test you have them all broken with the 46 lber. the next biggest was 42 lbs 14 oz on 12lb test.
The record will of course depend on whether you followed the IGFA rules. I hope you were not using a treble hook, not legal in IGFA.
Please give me a call if you would like more information on the rules or would like the proper forms for submitting the catch. I can fax them over to you.
Congrats on a truly spectacular catch!

Julie needs to get "Picture of the Week"!!! :D I still can't get over the size of those things, Julie.

02-27-2006, 10:36 AM
DANG :!: I've seen some pretty nice flatties caught at Dana Point over the years, but I don't recall ever seeing anything even coming close to that first monster! Also, I'm not so sure about the "catch of a lifetime" stuff...for most people yes, but Julie's got halibut fishing wired! At the rate she and Aaron are catching flatties I wouldn't be surprised if we see the dynamic duo post few more slabs this year!!! :wink:

Those are both outstanding fish. :shock: I like to fish that area for butts too. I think you both have awesome skill AND dedication for the sport of halibut. It shows. My only question is how do you set a new goal above that one and what time is dinner :?:

Hope you enjoy it for a long long time.
You would think BWE would put you on the "Fish of the week" webpage. Whatever "week" means, I don't know. The same picture is there every week.

Thanks, everyone for the kind words. Yeah, we're still glowing. It was a truly spectacular day.
We had a double going and Aaron landed a just legal, but released it when Julie hooked her 1st fish and said she thought it was a legal :roll: . It took awhile for that fish to realize it was even hooked. Then the fun began of gaffing the beast.
A little while after it was finally secured, a small gray whale surfaced between us. Another special thing to our day.
Aaron took about 5 gallons of water to his lap when he set the gaff in the 2nd fish. It tail-walked and jerked his kayak hard to the left, nearly flipping him. All worth it.
